Hope & Change is Greek to me

SYRIZA or Coalition of the Radical Left as they are rarely called in the media, hence the acronym that makes them sound like some new wonder drug advertised on cable news, have come to power in Greece.

"I used to be blue, trying to fit in to the family and submitting to demands that I work for a living and control my spendthrift ways. I really don't like to work and I'd rather litter my beautiful home and do as I please, but other people kept demanding that I conform to their system of control. Then I discovered Syriza and realized than none of those nagging frustrations were REAL. Since taking Syriza I can do whatever the government wants because I've learned that it's what I want too. Don't settle for an oppressive system of control when you can create your own with Syriza."

"Warning: Syriza might cause itching and swelling of the brain, prolonged depression and suicidal thoughts. If you experience poverty, hunger, prolonged imprisonment or torture while taking Syriza consult the nearest NGO and beg for asylum."

Even if you take the red pill, sooner or later you end up back in the matrix.

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
