"For the record I wouldn't rule out a messy Greek default myself, but for different reasons, e.g. Greece's crazy, far-left populist government."
I'm really curious if you can outline how an alternative to default is even possible, irrespective of government.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Anything intelligent to post?
Greece may reject austerity; does a Grexit follow?

A prediction I missed, back in March 2014, soon after the toppling of Yanukovich:
kiki: "I too expect the current 'temporary' government to suspend elections"

Or is this a word that needs more careful definition?

My prediction over Signy and kiki not liking the findings of the official report is looking good...

Yanno, that's a REALLY stupid prediction. You want to know why? Of course not, but I'm going to tell you anyway: Because you have no way of knowing whether or not what you predict actually happens or not, unless you presume to know what I feel about specific events. (Assuming I feel anything at all.)
Of course, not knowing how I feel or what I think (or what I've written, apparently) has never stopped you, G, THUGR, RAPPY, or GEEZER from putting words in my mouth before, so ... hey, why not now too? For you, it's SOP!
Next time, try predicting something real - or at least something verifiable.

I'll know when the report is released and you and Kiki start threads attacking it, duh.
Of course now that I've predicted this maybe you will have to bottle up your sense of injustice at what the report says and bite your tongue... Either way I win

Populists can be 'popular' but the words don't mean the same thing.
