Hand me that bottle of ouzo

Seems like the ideal time for a Greek holiday... Guardian reports:

"It is unclear what measures the government is considering in response to the unrest. With a general strike over economic policy planned for tomorrow, its position is looking increasingly precarious. [i'll say] Violence has resumed in the northern city of Thessaloniki and in Ioannina, and Greek demonstrators occupied the country's consulate in Paris."

Here's a photo from Le Monde, which says the consulate occupation lasted for a few hours. On the heels of opposition victory in Thailand, it would seem that the best way to get rid of a corrupt govt in this century is turning out to be the old fashioned way. Qu'est-ce qui se passe, O Canada??
