Update 1/30/2011: Found an interesting video http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20110128-agenda-george-friedman-egypt Dr. George Friedman thinks it’s most likely that the Egyptian military will decide what happens. A reformist, democratic regime is the least likely outcome.
SAN FRANCISCO – About a half-hour past midnight Friday morning in Egypt, the Internet went dead.
Almost simultaneously, the handful of companies that pipe the Internet into and out of Egypt went dark as protesters were gearing up for a fresh round of demonstrations calling for the end of President Hosni Mubarak’s nearly 30-year rule, experts said.
Egypt has apparently done what many technologists thought was unthinkable for any country with a major Internet economy: It unplugged itself entirely from the Internet to try and silence dissent.
The day part of the Internet died: Egypt goes dark – Yahoo! News.
To me, if the government shuts off the internet it’s AK-47 time. Note this happened in a totalitarian state where people’s natural right to self defense and RKBA is denied to them.

Today, December 16, is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party where colonists in Boston expressed their displease with King George by dumping highly taxed tea into the harbor. This is one of the events that preceded the American Revolutionary War. The current political Tea Parties take their name from this event.

On Friday 9/11/2009 there’s a memorial for those who fell on 9/11/2001 and to honor those serving the US. 6:30 – 8:30 at the courthouse. It’s put on by the Tea Party organizers, so it should be interesting.
