hawkwing_lbGreece: austerity cannot prevent depression.
Krugman: "ECB suggests that it’s quite likely that the confidence fairy will make everything OK."
Indications suggest holders of Greek bonds will take a 60% cut. Downside: indications suggest that the Right-Thinking People consider Greece a special case - which demonstrates rigid and limited thinking.
Oh, and everyone wants to smack Berlusconi.
Meanwhile, in the UK, a Guardian poll suggests that almost half of British voters would support a withdrawal from the EU, rising fees bring about a 12% drop in university applications, and St. Paul's cathedral claims Occupy! protestors are costing it £20,000/day in lost revenue.
Back home, our presidential frontrunners include a smugly forgettable septegenarian leprechaun, an even smugger Old Boys' Clubber with a shiny bullet for a head, and the smuggest of the lot, a self-aggrandising former terrorist with the face of an alcoholic tomato.
Yah, I no can has respect for really bad election posters.
The candidates. (Unfair to Norris, and over-generous to Davis, but otherwise a decent assessment.)
And "That's a lot of piss": new ways to cut costs.
Oh, and the Irish Times has launched a new section of its website called, "Generation Emigration."
Fun times, my friends. Fun times.
