This, I care about.

CBS News, video, February 13, 2011:

Mona Eltahawy comments on how Egypt’s peaceful 18-day revolution didn’t just bring down a dictator, it also toppled stereotypes about Arabs, who are often seen as violent and as a people who crave an iron-fisted strongman.

CBS News, today, 2/15/11:

On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

Oh, that other thing, that I don't care so much about. I heard on the radio, 104.5 The Zone, around noontime; OJ Simpson got the shit beat out of him in a Las Vegas prison. Beat so bad that he had to stay in the infirmary for 3 weeks; now he's afraid to leave his cell.

Neither Nicole Brown Simpson nor Ronald Goldman could be reached for comment.
