Olympic Opening Ceremony....

In a sense, the Olympic Games are coming home tonight. This great, sports-loving country is widely recognized as the birthplace of modern sport. It was here that the concepts of sportsmanship and fair play were first codified into clear rules and regulations. It was here that sport was included as an educational tool in the school curriculum. The British approach to sport had a profound influence on Pierre de Coubertin, our founder, as he developed the framework for the modern Olympic Movement at the close of the 19th century.

You gotta love a good Olympics opening ceremony with lots of high-tech gadgetry and Saturday night romance. I realy enjoyed watching the young coloured couple making out after the boy saves the girl's cell phone. I like the way he phones her on her cell phone that he has found and she answers! I could never have come up with that kind of miraculous continuity. "Hi I'm phoning you from the mobile you just dropped" and the girl answers on her second mobile? "where shall we meet?". The huge house that is also an array of tv screens with hordes of nintendo playing kids was also a treat. So was mr. Bean playing Vangelis and that soccer player driving a high speed boat. Many references to social media also brightened my outlook on the future. The music was great and I would of enjoyed more Culture Club, Flock of Seaguls, and other late eighties classics. Certainly a dissapointment that Stairway to Heaven was left out. British rock is great. Oh and they should have had a bulldog somewhere in there. Out of all this elevated and highly self aware stuff I think my favorite moment was the opening speech of monsieur Jacque Rogge... the olympics finaly return home after that terrible stay in Beijing and Athens before that. We shouldn't allow barbarians to play with the Olympic flame...

foreign greeks

Foreign Greeks is the newest political party in Greece. It's slogan: We are Foreign, We are Many, We are Greek, reflects the temperament of thousands of citizens who have ended up here for economic mostly reasons. Landed immigrants come mostly from other Balkan countries and many have acquired the right to vote. Estimates are for at least a 7 percent showing in the next election. That will translate into big cash for ten to a dozen foreigners who will see themselves suddenly graduating into MPs. Nine thousand euros monthly along with a Lexus hybrid and lots of other premiums and of course an indexed pension after a mere three years service. Beats the heck out of the 30 euro for a days work deal most immigrants have to deal with. Party leaders have already sent their first message to the corrupt European banking elite and to the Troika members: Duart Lart Erdi Fundi Yot! (hands up your days are numbered)

Karagiozis, GSK, vote of confidence...

What a fine! 3 billion dollars for misleading the public, false advertising, withholding information of side effects and so on. I wonder what the fine is for corporate murder and child abuse. Capitalism gone wild and a big party to celebrate over there at GlaxoSmithKline the multinational pharmaceutical superconglomerate. In other news the head of the German secret police resigns after admitting destroying evidence of fifteen rascist murders (beaten to death). It's in the superior genes. Seems he was willing to go out of his way to protect the German Nazi party members who amongst others beat a Greek to death. This of course is the face of the market controlled Europe. The Europe of the apocalypse prophecies that was jealous of the dancing whore. http://doomsday-prophecies.blogspot.gr/2009/02/greek-monk-prophecy-third-world-war.html
 On a brighter note a landmark court descision gives a divorced mother a second chance at life. During the years before the economic crisis she had amassed over four hundred thousand euros in debt. Since then she has seen her wages reduced again and again well below half. The court decided that the debt was too great to bear and decided she should pay back the bank only 10 percent of the original loan trimming off 90 percent of her personal debt. That is to say she will be making payments on forty thousand euros. The best part is that the first instalmet begins in 2014. Courts here in Greece are making these kinds of decisions all the time, typicaly asking people to survive on 300 euros per person per month and ordering the banks to settle for big cuts in loans they have already paid out. Collection agencies stop and a new day begins for these people. A very logical measure in a country where most people have seen their incomes drop well below half.

Our new government got a vote of confidence without SYRIZA, the Independent Greeks, the communists and Golden Dawn all in the opposition. Syriza, the official opposition, has set up a shadow government with a shadow cabinet. Makes sense as the three party government (PASOK, New Democracy and Dimar) is mostly a Karagiozis* style fiasco...

Spain-Italy 4-0 CRABS

Make sure to pick up your newborn everytime it cries. This until at least six months of age as the old adage that picking up the baby is bad is wrong. A baby needs physical contact in the first six months of its life and learns many things through this process. The AGP algorithm has shown, beyond any doubt, what a lack of attention and tough love will do to a developing child. As a matter of fact all these political leaders who preach austerity programs along with the banking elite that tracks every penny of debt and then dumps it on a weak nations GDP are all individuals that where left to cry for hours in their crib. Merkel and Langarde both were CRABs (crib abandoned babies).http://shine.yahoo.com/team-mom/spanking-linked-mental-illness-says-study-175900352.html Schuable too was neglected for hours and developed a terrible thumb sucking habit. It took mustard under the nails to solve that problem a treatment that leads to an oral-caustic dissorder. All behaviours of troika members can be explained in these rather simplistic terms as their problems arose in early developmental stages leading to a simplistic personality. Centered on greed and the pleasure taken from causing others to suffer these technocrats all need a hug. So if you do bump into them makes sure to give them a big one. Bear hugs are acceptable too but must be released when subject changes colour...CRABS is also the only thing in their pockets and if you ever ask Langarde for a loan expect to get bitten. Rich people are typicaly the stingiest people. Many nice hugs to everyone out there...
ps. Spain takes the Eurocup for a second time. Pretty powerful force eh!
