February 4, 2011 · Majority Report

Guest: Movieline.com’s Chris Rosen

It’s Casual Friday once again, prelude to Super Bowl weekend, or as half of America calls it “The day a bunch of men throw a ball around in-between brand new commercials we already previewed on the internet.”

Today has been dubbed “The Day of Departure” by the protesters in Egypt, hoping that it will be Mubarak’s last day in power.

There are reportedly over 1 million people in Tahrir Square on a relatively peaceful day now that the Egyptian Army has separated the Mubarak loyalists from the pro-democracy protesters.

Sam will be talking to Professor Juan Cole on this weekend’s Ring of Fire Radio on Saturday, 2/5 at 3 o’clock Eastern.

  • White House and Egypt discuss plan for Mubarak’s exit.
  • Journalist in Egypt still under fire.
  • Berlusconi: Hosni Mubarak Is ‘The Wisest Of Men’
  • Rush Limbaugh doesn’t know who to hate
  • Media Matters’ Brock: “Troubled People … Could Do Troubling Things” In Response To Beck’s Fearmongering

Watch Sam discuss the motives behind Glenn Beck’s Egypt conspiracy theories.

Shifting out of Egypt stories:

Breaking News! - Rumsfeld is still a dick.

The Chris Rosen from MovieLine.com joins for his weekly movie segment giving Sam two movies he has already seen. Awkward.

Netflix Instant - Exit Through the Gift Shop

On Demand - The Social Network

Next a few more interesting Egypt articles:

  • Google Seeks Help Searching for Missing Exec in Egypt
  • How The U.S. Chamber Of Commerce’s Egyptian Affiliate Went To Bat For The Egyptian Dictatorship - It’s interesting that Russ Feingold (voted out of Congress in 2010) lead legislation to push Egypt to hold free and fair elections.

Good neighbor Mr. Sam Seder opens up the Journey Through the Creationist Museum book and reads a few chapters about the Tower of Babel and how everyone is all the same and are based on the same skin color.

Finally, in the soon to be sequestered Post Show find out what reality show member Sam took a leak next to, what names were dropped this Friday, Mr. Brainwash, and of course Sam takes listener IM’s.
