Now that the fires in Greece have been put out the damage can be assessed. This uprising was more relevant to the economic turmoil in Greece than to the case of police brutality on a teenager.
Greece is about to be slotted after Turkey in the European pecking order. You can only get but so far selling olives and figs.
The rest of Europe better hope that the Greeks don’t resort to selling cocktails…
The Molotov variety.

NIKE could not have photoshopped this picture any better.
Revolution? Just do it.
When it all falls down…
The fallout from the Iraqi television shoe-ter is putting that fragile government into a tailspin. High ranking officials are being run up on and arrested for suspicions of planning a coup to overturn the government. These dudes are from the ministry of the interior and the defense ministry. They are all reportedly part of a SADDAM HUSSEIN’s banned political party – Ba’athists.
All the death in Iraq has given the locals some kind of wanderlust for the good old days when SADDAM HUSSEIN tortured people to death in the privacy of his castle. At least the oil refineries ran on time some might day. Do you know what else I have learned about Iraq ever since the United States forcibly removed their dictator president SADDAM HUSSEIN from power?
HUSSEIN held that country together with smoke and mirrors. I would bet you that his control was ebbing and for that reason the United States had to step in and wrest control of the country from him before someone came to power who wouldn’t give us carte blanche to the country’s vast oil reserves.
The U.S. would have been fighting a war in Iraq no matter how you slice it or dice it. I shouldn’t be giving imperialism an excuse, but the truth is that if we hadn’t shed the blood that we did there would have ended up being a larger spill to clean up. This is why Iran now weighs heavy on my mind.
The middle east is destabilizing faster than we might have expected. You always had the Palestinian land grab by the Europeans in the west, but now in the east we see the Indians and the Pakis getting at each other’s necks. The Indians have a little more sense than the Pakistanis do because they have a lot more industry to lose but I don’t know if that will be enough to keep them in line if they are continually baited by the Pakistani government.
I feel like the United States is going to be in the middle east much like England was in India. Suffice to say, a very long time.
The damage control continues for JESSE JACKSON Jr. as his spokesman tells the press that JACKSON has been giving information to Federal investigators for many years.
This my friends is the definition of a snitch.
Snitches protect their unscrupulous interests as well as covering their asses.
I am not calling JESSE JACKSON Jr. a snitch because I think he did something illegal and he is looking to cover up his criminality, I am calling him a snitch because he plays the game of politricks just like everyone else does. This dude has been in office for more than a dozen years. You don’t keep a political machine running for that long without greasing the wheels from time to time.
The ROD BLAGOJEVICH scandal is politically problematic because it describes the corruption that occurs within the most private corridors of power. This has nothing to do with people that aren’t associated with the plurality as public servants. There are no bankers, no stock brokers, no captains of corporations and no prositutes. This whole shit was all politicians.
Playing politricks.
I try not to hate the players though just because the game is all fucked the fuck up.
‘They Shoe-tin’ or ‘G Dubbz: Sole Survivor’
LMFAO that some television reporter throws both of his shoes at G Dubbz.
Unfortunately, that political gesture is about six years too late.
(and hundreds of thousands of lives, but who’s counting now?)
Just as late as the Secret Service agents were to respond.
I can only hope that niggy prexy OBAAMA has some more thorough dudes watching his back because you know the haters will not be hurling loafers at his octaroon ass.
