Tens of thousands of protesters chanting, "Leave, leave!" filled Cairo's Tahrir Square in a massive demonstration to force Egypt's ruling military council to yield power. The Friday rally is dubbed by organizers as "The Last Chance Million-Man Protest," and comes one day after the military offered an apology for the killing of nearly 40 protesters in clashes on side streets near Tahrir over the last week.

(AP)--Kathy Hochul told her supporters they had picked the right issue to fight a Republican on long-held Republican turf. The Democrat rode a wave of voter discontent over the national GOP's plan to change Medicare and overcame decades of GOP dominance here to capture Tuesday's special election in New York's 26th Congressional District. Hochul defeated Republican state Assemblywoman Jane Corwin on Tuesday night, capturing 47 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Corwin, to win the seat vacated by disgraced Republican Chris Lee. A wealthy tea party candidate, Jack Davis, took 9 percent. The special election that became a referendum on the health care plan for the nation's seniors may serve as a warning shot to further GOP efforts to cut popular entitlement programs. "The three reasons a Democrat was elected to Congress in the district were Medicare, Medicare and Medicare," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said in an interview. Hochul's supporters at a union hall in Amherst, outside Buffalo, chanted, "Medicare! Medicare!" And she replied in kind. "Did we not have the right issues on our side?" she exhorted. "We cannot balance our budget on the backs of our seniors." "How about ending big handouts for Big Oil?" she said. "How about making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share? We can do all that and not decimate Medicare."

Barack Obama's Press Secretary is quite the ballbuster, and has no qualms with firing back at media outlets that seem determined to smear the Prez-elect (and, yes, we're talking about Fox News).
