Some Egyptian Ordered Pizza for Wisconsin Protesters

In a true move of democratic solidarity, Egyptians sent Wisconsinites pizza. It’s a political cheesehead’s dream come true. From Politico:

It might seem like a small gesture, but it’s overwhelming to the staff at Ian’s on State Street — a campus staple mere blocks from the Capitol — where in the last few days, they’ve fielded calls from concerned citizens of 14 countries, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia looking to donate money to provide free pizza to the Wisconsinites who have congregated here.

    Ordered yesterday and again now. Don’t stop calling. The lines are busy but they are getting more help from other delivery options.

    Please keep calling. Took me less time today than yesterday and they need help feeding our brothers & sisters. They also are working with other delivery services now so should be easier to get through.

    I hope that is what they would put on a pizza in Egypt (or whatever the equivalent of a pizza would be in Cairo).
