Ooops, how did she get in there?
“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.No warning? Retired public servant? But, but . . . how can we run out of other people’s money?
Same thing is happening to this country with Crony Capitalism we can just print more money.“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.No warning?

Don't you people in Houston get swamped on a regular basis?

This is on an island where you could buy 10 oranges for a dollar all day long.
What is God's name did they do with all that money? It's not like they have an army. Or a Navy. Or an air force. Or a transcontinental railroad system. Or an interstate highway system.
Maybe we should let them still their creditors. How could anyone have been stupid enough to loan them more money once their debt got up to around, say, $10 billion?
They deserve each other. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Their "best man" assup and their bridesmaid lil cotex said that they will be wanting a penis shaped cake with " thick brown frosting " on most of the cake with" runny white cream" frosting around the "head" area of the cake. And "rainbow colored frosting" on the cupcakes that they'll be forcing on the kids in attendance. Or will your bakery be down for "repairs" all during that time ?
