  • I am astounded that the Europeans are considering lending Greece more money. I wouldn't loan them a dime at 100% interest because you can kiss your money goodbye. Then the people that loaned them the money will be whining, "We had no idea." Arrrrrggghhhh!

  • I remember the last military coup in Greece, back in the mid to late 60's I think, and we got Socialism from that one; I'm thinkin' jukin has a point--where does it go from here? The Greek state would become more belligerent and obnoxious than it already is and the rest of us would get a very clear picture of where some of our larger US cities are headed if WE continue down this path to oblivious (snark intended).

  • there is no money my greek friends.

    it's just as stupid as the stupid Demmunists crying over federal workers having to pay into THEIR OWN PENSIONS
