Video: Mock Hanging Outside Greek Parliament

Perhaps the Greeks have heard that the ECB is on its way to Athens to take over tax collection in Greece and collect the deed for the Acropolis and Parthenon.

Or maybe it was word that Moody's downgraded Greece today to near-junk status and put the odds of default at 50%.

Video - Greeks protest austerity in Syntagma Square - May 31, 2011

Syntagma Square is immediately adjacent to the Greek Royal Palace.  I remember it from a family trip in 1972 when I was 6, as I negotiated cabfare in Drachmas with the locals for my overwhelmed non-Greek speaking mother.  Earlier this week, there was discussion of a military coup in Greece if the protests and violence escalates.

Apropos of nothing, check out this amazing photo of the Parthenon being struck by lightning last Summer...

"If you don't pass TARP, your ATMs won't work...blood will flow thru the streets, it will be like the 1600s...no wait, it will be worse than the Great Depression...no it will be like Typhoid Mary having sex with Jack the Ripper and birthing a full-grown Schwarzenengger..."

LC...i'm not going anywhere except straight to the psych ward...TR thinks he knows how to run the site, so let him work on it 14 hours per day 6 days per week for 30 months...he needs the experience apparently based on his 7 disparaging comments in the past 30 minutes explaining what i should be covering..

a thought however...you do know that the site is called the daily bail, not the daily bell, right?...because there is a site called the daily bell...i'm not pissed in any way at you, just curious why you call it that...

another thought...i can always use help...send me an email...we can talk about it...
