My Big Fat Greek Debt

I need to make up for The Night Without The Internet, so I'm going to do two posts today. And if I seem incoherent or spacey, just remember: I've been through a harrowing ordeal. My physical and mental scars may never heal. Bear with me.

As everyone knows, the Eurozone is inching ever-closer to complete economic crisis, and recently there has been a new development that could change the course of non-America-related history: Spain's province Catalonia has put forth a motion to secede from Spain (and the Euro). This just proves what everyone has been saying for years: The Euro is dying, and countries will do whatever it takes to get out of it.

Meanwhile, everyone is pissed off at Germany. Yeah, what else is new, right? However, this time it involves good investments and smart monetary management, not genocide. The other nations of Europe are mad at Germany because they have the strongest economy of the Eurozone, and therefore can dictate the policies of other countries. What do you know--- 70 years after WWII, Germany has ended up owning Europe anyway.

In other news, the 2012 jobs reports came in, showing a record low of unemployment-- about 7.8%. The newest report might give Obama a bit of a bump in the polls, which he needs after his dismal debate performance. Romney, of course, says that the unemployment rate dropped because people stopped looking for work and just gave up. I wonder if Romney could have his insurance denied because of a preexisting condition. Namely, 'Being a fantastic asshole'. We should look into that.

I Can't Believe it's not Wiener!

Oh, hello hello, everyone. I haven't blogged for a while because I've been sitting on my butt staring at the computer, but I didn't want to invest the time it takes to write a post. So, here we go-- I hope I won't have to leave in the middle of writing this.

Anthony Wiener, the congressman accused of tweeting his namesake, is still under fire for... hmm... Twienering? Wieneeting? There's no good pun for that, is there?

The sad thing is, I used to be a big fan of Wiener. That didn't sound right. He used to stand up to the Republicans using colorful graphs and language. It's a shame. He's also a good friend of Jon Stewart, who somehow managed to slice his wrist open while doing a bit on his congressman friend. Click HERE to watch the clip.

Let's get off this somewhat disgusting topic and start talking about something much more exciting-- my trip to Europe! On Tuesday, I'm leaving for the mystical land of ridiculous hats and rich figureheads. Now, instead of blogging from Europe (which would be incredibly easy to do), I've decided to be a bit of a turd about this and take the next two weeks off. When I get back, I will publish my exploits to the 'internets'.

See, I'll be keeping an obnoxious travel journal while I'm in England and France, which will not necessarily reflect the actual events that happen while I'm there. For those of you who want the actual account, just use your imaginations.

I know I will.

Bye!

P.S.-- this is my 100th post in 2011!
