The Bad sort of Tea Party....

Here is an article from the Economist about the tea-party convention in the USA. It's a hardcore Republican party asking for smaller government and lower taxes, oh ya, and extremely racist. The best part is, some of them are trying to figure out a way to prove Obama is not a real American (through immigration papers?)! 
In short, it's the typical party for a racist middle or higher income class caucasian Christian American. Sad, but true.

Satire: Mama Ellada

About the play: 
In it, two corrupt politicians sell off the Acropolis to businessmen so they can turn it into a casino. The purchasers turn out to be priests.
I am surprised that has not happened yet! 

Beyond the Greek Financial Crisis


Some interesting articles from the BBC on the Greek financial crisis. The crisis is more than just a Greek problem, or a European one... It represents an international one.

Tea Party by Joyce Shelton

My new obsession! I am completely in love with tableware collection items created by Joyce Shelton! Here are a few pictures of my favorite collections. I bought my first cup, plate, spoon while in Vancouver, BC. I will try to get a list of places that sell these items in Montreal.
