Those Wacky Greeks!
A violent nationwide general strike to protest the austerity measures required by the EU as a condition of the next bailout. What a nation of hirsute, ouzo-swilling, guvmint-addicted junkies. They haven't done anything for world civilization since the age of Sophocles. Let 'em go under.

Re: Those Wacky Greeks!
I was listening to BBC radio on the way back to DC from Boone today. They broke down the vote in the Greek parliament. Their MPs are about 52% - 48% conservative vs. socialist. I loved hearing the comments from the Socialist MPs about how their social spending could have been supported, but but but... it's those corporatists that keep getting in the way of the utopia that runaway social spending can create if they are just allowed to have their way!

Greece's creditors are rolling over the debt and doing nothing more than delaying the inevitable. They might as well default now and get it over with. The markets have largely priced in a Greek default anyway.

What's with all the Citadel interest in the Greeks?
Q: Why do Greek men hate to leave their mother country?
A: Because they were reared there, and they hate to leave their little brothers behind!
