Quickies

• Lots of things happening in Egypt but none more important than Mubarak saying he'll step down-- in September. His countrymen want him out now.

• Laura Barbara Bush, daughter of George W. Bush, says she supports gay marriage and urges equality.  This is a definite break from her father's administration, his base and Neanderthal Republican ideology.

• The Dow closed above 12,000 for the first time since 2008.  

• I'm not sure what frustrates frequent Fold Blog commenter Kristen more.  That he can't form a coherent intellectual response to anything we post here.  Or that Ayn Rand went to her grave clinging to the modern welfare state.  [hint: he's going by fold-sanity today]

• A leaked email from an editor at Fox News demonstrates his "fair and balanced" intentions to have his network paint then-candidate Obama as a "socialist."  From his email, his words were copied nearly verbatim all over Fox's programming.  Special Note:  This is the third time the same editor at Fox News has been busted trying to alter on-air programming to fit the Republican narrative.
