1. LOL.Yeah, I saw that one.The conservatives will lose badly in the next elections...

if they don`t announce new elections in the coming months.Not that it would help because they would still lose the new-announced elections but PM Karamanlis says he won`t announce new elections but make a governemt reshuffle instead.And that won`t help either.LOL.

THE CONSERVATIVES ARE DOOMED!

4. The network that was taken over

is ERT. The video clip was broadcast by the MEGA channel. This was all the stations were talking about. They said it was about 60 or so people between the ages of 25-30. The banner reads "Stop Watching, Everyone Take To The Streets"

Also, another Greek teenager, 16 years, was murdered. Assassined by unknown gunman or gunmen from distance - Golden Dawn fascists or plain clothes "vigilante" cops or both together. Death squads starting their terror tactics? If so, this will turn ugly, very ugly...

6. "Another Greek teenager" was murdered?I read that there was a...

16-year-old boy who was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the hand but not murdered.I read this in a Greek newspaper called Ekathimerini; it`s a conservative newspaper but other Greek news outlets reported this incident aswell.This 16-year-old boy was injured but not murdered.Here`s an excerpt of the article:

In Peristeri, western Athens, local residents gathered to protest after a 16-year-old boy was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the hand. The boy, whose father is a teacher and a unionist affiliated with the Communist Party (KKE), reportedly suffered the injury on Wednesday night when unidentified assailants fired at him while he was standing with friends on a street corner. Witnesses claimed two shots were fired, the first of which hit the boy’s hand. The boy’s father Constantinos Paplomatas spoke of “a murder attempt... by sinister forces.” A police spokesman said that no officers had been in the area at the time.

7. In a certain respect, I have to admire the greeks in their willingness to get out there and show

their gov't just how dis-pleases they are. Too bad we don't seem to have the same motivation here in this country, because if we did, we would have been out of Iraq a long time ago.
