By way of Lambert, I came across this awesome video of Loukanikos, a stray dog in Athens, Greece, who apparently has a history of not liking riot police (the action kicks in at about the 1:10 mark):
I guessing Louk isn't upset about the EU forcing contractionary policies on an economy with already sky-high unemployment (I could be wrong though!). Probably, it's a combination of a riot policeman at some point taking a swing at him along with demonstrators feeding him.
Which means he's as sophisticated about politics as many humans.
FREEDOM!

Have you ever noticed that everyone else's house or apartment is cleaner than yours?
That's because your arrival is usually expected, and a certain amount of cleaning up happens before you get there. So, you experience everyone else's home cleaned up but your own crib just the way it is.

I feel like writing about the Greek crisis. I discover that I wrote about the last one, so I've nicked my witty headline from then.
The situation as it is now, or at least my reading of it: the Greeks have caved in. After lots of posturing, the reality of two weeks of banks shut and no other way…
You know that famous scene in Annie Hall where a bore is going on and on about Marshall McLuhan's work and Allen produces McLuhan who tells the bore that he got McLuhan all wrong? Well, that's kind of what happened in my debate with Monckton. Based on what he had identified as his most important…

Bravo Loukanikos!
How did it happen that the Greeks have so many Anglophone rioters than they feel it necessary for the cops to identify themselves in English on their shields?
EU rules about multilingual facilities, dontcha know :-)
Actually, "Police" or some variation is not only for English, but French as well. And the same four letters in front covers German and Dutch and the like (even Turkish), so I guess the idea is to tell all the foreigners who read roman alphabets that these are cops.
Maybe the manufacturer of police shields figured to save money?
Someone has to teach those in Greece how to make home made napalm. Those plastic shields won't stand up to that.
What's amazing to me is that with all that going on, the dog doesn't bite anyone. If I put my dog in the middle of that, someone would very likely be bitten.
The dog looks like he's having fun more so than protesting...
Bravo Loukanikos!
