Niall Ferguson was recently on MSNBC's Morning Joe talking about Egypt and had a very pessimistic view on Egypt. He also made the same argument that conservatives are making right now about how democracy in Egypt is somehow "bad" for us. Video below the fold along with my lengthy response.

There are currently unconfirmed reports on Twitter that the military has launched a coup against President Ben Ali in Tunisia. The country has had protests recently over widespread unemployment in the country.

I'll update this as I hear more.

Today, Sarah Palin in Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, Nevada was speaking at the Tea Party rally. Watching it live on CNN, I was suprised to hear this (quote not exact, I'll try to find the actual transcript):

And next time a Subaru drives by with an Obama bumper sticker on it, why don't you ask them how that hopey changey stuff is working out for them? .... I have nothing against Subarus.

This past Thursday I wrote a diary on whether or not I should vote for unopposed candidates in the down ticket races here in Delaware. (Link)

There were a lot of great thoughts on the subject in the comments, and they mainly centered around using write-in votes as a means of protest against candidates who were running opposed.

So I ended up deciding that I would use the write-in votes instead of giving my vote to candidates whom I honestly wasn't thrilled to have in office. I even toyed with the idea of launching a last minute campaign on Facebook to try to become County Council President.

Well now a wrench has been thrown in my plans.

Gearing up for Election Day I went to the Delaware Department of Elections website so I could download a sample ballot. As I look down the list I know how I’m planning to vote for each office: Obama for President, Biden for Senator, Hartley-Nagle for Congress (though I’m tempted to write in Jerry Northington), Markell for Governor, and the list goes on but it all keeps swinging Democrat.

However, as I get towards the bottom and into offices of a much more local nature, I find my decision on how to vote becomes murky.
