Leadership of Egypt's ruling party resigns (news.yahoo.com)

Edit: My bad. I thought Mubarak but it is his son and another guy. I changed the title so that is was accurate instead of my initial "Mubarak resigns". My apologies for adding to the confusion.

I stunned. I really did not think it would happen.

Wait...doesn't this say his SON resigned? Kind of a misleading title.

Wrong Mubarak --- the article refers to Gamal Mubarak, the dictator's son, and not Hosni Mubarak, the dictator himself who (as I write) remains in office.

Gamal is resigning a political party post, which means that the family succession plans are off. That's a step in the right direction, but it certainly won't be enough to meet the protestors' demands.
