A couple newspapers here have been stirring the pot about the Greek bailout/handout.
Yesterday, one of them had a spread on what taxpayers' money could do here if it weren't being sent to Athens to feather the nests and fill the champagne-cabinets of the do-nothings there.
It was an impressive list of needed freeway improvements, needed tunnels, needed new trains on heavily-travelled routes, housing improvements, and so on, not to mention (wait for it...) a taxcut.
Today's paper indicated that they were wrong yesterday and had undercounted to the tune of a billion euros. Oh well.
I'll tell you, they stirred it up so good that I feel like punching a Greek myself and I am on the dole here.
Hey, did you know it's anti-constitutional in Greece to have private Universities? I didn't. Perhaps you'll feel better now handing them dollops of money.
They have U[sic]niversities?
Are you stooping so low now and criticize my way of capitalizing nouns, Herr Rot (or is it herr rot?) I thought you like being in a Universität, no?
Only "Bar" should be capitalized, in my book, and I ain't talkin shysters.
Getting back on track (after a Herr Stramansky detour): Pay up, Rot, pay up! Griechenland is counting on you.
News of the tautological: First, though all countries are theoretically responsible for investing in the IMF's lending pool, not all of them have currencies that potential borrowers can use. (Think of Zimbabwean dollars or Venezuelan pesos.)
Think of Tecs' VCP stash. Oh yeah, you owe and you'll pay and all that. Then there's some lame story about Derrière-Jouët or some bs, always talking about like Mugabe, Tecs is...
