5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican

12/11   Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
