Is pvc pipe good for brawls and beatin' on folks?  I wouldn't have thought so.  I guess revolutionaries can't be choosers.       

I'm sure I'm not the only one here that has sorted cattle with a length of orange PVC.

My favorite sign so far was "Hey, Morsi! Denial ain't just a river in Ethiopa!"

It looked like those folks were planning on bashing people not stabbing people.  How's it for bashing?

I would try to kind of swipe faces with it and then get pvc shards in faces. And it could be OK for bashing.

They hate the ambassador because she allegedly has a secret alliance with the MB. Of course, they're cheering everytime a military chopper passes overhead because of course the US has NO relationship with the military...

I'm a little confused. Cheering for Egyptian or US military helicopters? Is there a good article that explains this particular round of protests?

Go to NYT and search tamarod. There's probably something decent.

There's a lot of pro-military sentiment born mostly out of anti-Morsi sentiment. It's bananas. Exactly one year ago, these two sides were in tahrir celebrating Morsi for replacing military rule.

Here's a decent backgrounder from a guy actually on the ground here. He's a little biased, but usually has good info

What's the really short explanation of how the military can be a 3rd party in this aside from the current government and the government protesters want?  Like, whoever's the top riley rat there just decided that since he physically possesses all the tanks and crap that he can do whatever he wants?
