Economists and Einstein

Amongst the comments on a very readable ZeroHedge article on the future of Greece and the somewhat underhand Germans (the video of the German Finance Minister in the article demonstrating that it is indeed all politics) comes this little gem :

Einstein dies and goes to heaven only to be informed that his room [...]

Fuel for rioting – a chart and a quote ..

A brief extract from a ZeroHedge article entitled “This is Europe’s Scariest Chart” :

UK overtakes Japan in the race for who owes the most money.

Whilst the MSM speak constantly of cuts, the reality is that the UK has never owed more money and is now neck and neck with the Eastern basket case that is Japan.

One world government lead by … Goldman Sachs.

Vampire Squid – aka Goldman Sachs

What used to be a debating point reserved  for the tin-foil hat brigade, the theme of one world government seems to be gaining ground in (slightly) more mainstream places.

Farage sticks a rocket up van Rompuy
