Free Alaa!

Among others, an Egyptian blogger, winner of a Reporters Without Borders award last year was detained by the Egyptian government during a peaceful protest in favor of a more independent judiciary as covered by Reporters without Borders on May 12 in Egypt. You can get more information at Free Alaa!, at the Reporters Without Borders links just given, on Alaa’s own website (he is blogging from prison it appears). I’m not sure what you can do, but people are mobilizing to cover the story by doing what I’m doing, namely writing a short piece and including a link that uses the word “Egypt” as anchor text and links to http://freealaa.blogspot.com/ in an effort to make that one of the top-ranked sites for a search on “Egypt”.

Lost democracy
The original TFR sticker/shirt etc: "Lost. One democracy. Large military and economic power. 300,000,000 citizens. Last seen in North America cavorting with corporate fat cats and religious fundamentalists. If seen, please return to the American people. Great sentimental value.
