"How can something like this happen without prior warning?" asked Angeliki Psarianou, a 67-year-old retired public servant, who stood in the drizzle after arriving too late at one empty ATM in the Greek capital.

Don't you just hate it when the Germans refuse to re-fill your ATM?

Greek public servants have their nose to the grindstone 24/7: They work 24 hours a week for seven months of the year. It's not just that every year you receive 14 monthly payments, but that you only do about 30 weeks' work for it. For many public-sector "workers", the work day ends at 2.30pm. Gosh, when you retire on your 14 monthly pension payments, you scarce notice the difference, except for a few freed-up mornings...

Who can forget the ‘80s craze (led by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell) that marriage was a stupid piece of paper? I must say I thought of it at the same time Mark Steyn did!

I wish to coin a phrase

“At this point, what difference does it make?”

It would be absolutely hilarious, if the subject weren't so absolutely depressing. This is us down the road.

BLOAT!

The phrase, “it’s all Greek to me”, just took on a new meaning.
