This whole idea that Egypt is Western friendly,is pushed by channels like the BBC.They probably send the poor guy over there,even though the whole area should be cordoned off as a no go zone.

Rage Day... as if they really needed another reason to go nuts. If this catches on, it could be the Islamic version of Thanksgiving.

When the people that hate you are doing the heavy lifting of killing themselves for you, there’s no reason to intervene on anyone’s behalf. This is a national popcorn moment.

He's probably working his butt off trying to find somebody willing to say something nice about Obama!

When do we get a day of rage?!
In fact, I’ve never had a day of rage!

True....I have no sympathy for these misery ghouls who think the badge of “Journalist” should protect them as if they were miles above the fray. He will be summarily lauded by his peers because now he has the scars of that oh so noble profession (I think I just yakked a little in my throat).

Well, I once had a "I'm extremely peeved" day but it wasn't anywhere near a rage.
