A good summary of current events and political differences from Algeria, Tunsia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain with some little reported details on Iraq in the last few weeks.

This morning's news from AJE live is grim in Bahrain and Libya as the armies have broken up and shot several hundreds. Just tune-in for awhile and the earlier breaking news will probably be repeated. Democracy Now had a good section on Wisconsin. Jerry Brown will probably work out very similar, but softer sounding austerity measures in social welfare and education.

I don't count on anything coming from Brown. So state employees and students are going to have to join together and get ready to react hard and fast.
