So long Goerge Papandreou

I still remember all those nights we harmonized till dawn... So the dream of a referendum is shot down in flames in favour of an election. Of course who would dare let the Greek people decide? It was a fun week though wasn't it? Certainly a brilliant display of the effectiveness of the Alexander the Great Plan. Athens flooded with reporters and news crews from all over the world. More so than during the Olympics. The panicked faces of reporters and correspondents along with the rushed and all too obvious press releases, well it was more like we were living in Washington D.C. than Athens Greece. The dust may be settling down here and there is certainly an attempt in the press to lay the blame flatly in Goerge Papandreou's lap but things are far from normal. Let us make a quick recap of last week. A couple more members of parliament decide to abandon the ruling party. Goerge Papandreou, faced with a nonconfidence vote decides to call a referendum. He is faced with harsh criticism that goes as far as to question his sanity. The entire planet earth seems to have reacted to this idea. Greek bonds were a good buy in 2001 with a 5-8 percent pay back when the rest of the EU was selling at 2-3 percent. Such a good deal that it would seem everybody now has a stake in the Greek economy. So the Alexander the Great Plan and its mysterious web of intrigue and suspense, without buying into any toxics or hedge funds, manages to entangle the entire world to the point that Obama himself feels the urge to go on international television and lend his support to our now ex-prime minister. So in the midsts of all this hubbub and with no solution in sight Goerge does a 180. He wins a vote of confidence in the Greek parliament, the boule, and then resigns and calls for elections. The next four days are spent looking for a replacement and a formula for a coalition government. It is of no consequence who will be PM during the intern government, Peter Roumeliotis was one of the names shot around, as long as said PM is from the banking world. The message is clear to all us Greeks and we all know what to do and what role to play. Unity in the face of austerity and the Alexander the Great Plan will save us all. And our deposits too.
