‘Left, Right & Center’: Econo-Anxiety; UK Votes; N.Y. BomberPosted on May 7, 2010
Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain (or PIGS, as the likes of Stephen Colbert have pointed out) have seen better days—debt is overpowering the eurozone and impacting the U.S. as well. The UK election: Will it be a hung parliament? Plus: Newsweek’s for sale. Any takers? —KA KCRW: Advertisement New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

The revolution is in progress. The Greeks lead the way, as usual.
They are not interested in being exploited “Labor” in endless debt credit to global Finance Capitalism.
The now Neo-Con Christian Science Monitor just had a mocking editorial on how “childish” the Greeks are, and how they should just realize that they have to “Work, save their money” and so forth to overcome the present debt situation “Greece” finds itself in.
The editorial is another bad joke from bankrupt US Calvinist Finance Capitalism.
Were the US population as smart as the Greeks.

I wish this show was on radio too and even TV. Though one could open it up to Populists and democratic-socialists and anarchists etc. to give a much broader and fuller look at various problem. This is very good, let us have more of them at TruthDig!
What to do in a time of a glut of large hard news to catch up on the other smaller things happening.
