	His announcement of "radio silence" concerned me a bit, although I too have been periodically refreshing my tab in the hopes of an update. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The green car in the foreground is a nice touch -- couldn't have Photoshopped on a more appropriate detail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That looks like Obama's inauguration day. Sort of ironic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No, it's quite compelling. I don't know how likely the idea of lasting institutional change is, in all honesty, but there's no way to ignore the biggest demonstrations since '79. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's more likely there than here -- which is a very good thing, all things considered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be redundant: echoing the above. Despite the US' typical dearth of interest in foreign political affairs, at least this one has caught some interest. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You are not alone, Stephen. I for one am very interested to see how this plays out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'll echo everyone else. One of the most significant geopolitical events of 2009 to date -- it would be a travesty not to pay attention to it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If you need any help with it, just holler in my direction -- or any direction, I suppose. There isn't exactly a shortage of people who might be able to explain for you here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
