What's Going on in Egypt?

Did you know that Egypt is in the grips of a regional rebellion where crowds of 50 thousand are protesting? No ... neither did I:

My dear sweet courageous friend in Egypt, Sandmonkey, wrote me this earth shattering missive, "Never thought I would see the day, where over 50,000 people revolt against the autocratic regime in Egypt, but it's happening in the Nile Delta City of Mahalla. Thepictures are exhilarating, people are stepping with their feet on pictures of Mubarak.

Yet Nobody is reporting this.

I checked BBC and they do have a piece on this, but not a headliner. Our own CTV.ca and CBC have nothing as far as I can tell. But then, they've got far more important things to cover, what with knuckle-dragging homophobia sweeping conservative ranks in the house.
