TGIF…and… Howzabout This Gluttonous Guy?
Recovering from the shock of Bintang beer going up by Rp.3000 at Giant supermarket…
………..
I have had to sleep quite seriously, but have now arisen!
============
My awakening is being facilitated by an article in Fortune magazine, which has a go at everyone involved in the Greek crisis, but especially delighted me with this paragraph, exposing the bloated hypocrisy of at least one of those who rant and rave about plutocratic privilege.
‘End privilege of ship owners, military and church’ …
…former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who delivered a clinical and damning analysis (posted here on Verhofstadt’s Facebook timeline and well worth a read) of how Tsipras might have spent the last five months better, namely by passing concrete measures to end the clientelism that has rotted Greece’s political system for years.
- Fine sentiments indeed. A shame, then, that such a good lecture on clientelism should have to come from someone whose career on the Brussels gravy train has resulted in emoluments of over 12,000 euros a month from various interests such as a Dutch pension firm, a Belgian investment company and the European Institute of Public Affairs.

Guy – I believe the Walloons of Belgium pronounce it to rhyme with ‘flea’ – has featured but rarely in our blog…

‘Gender’ Gibberish – MEPs’ Arrogance on Display, AGAIN!!

…but he is a left-lib Eurocrat of the worst sort, so deserves this mention today.

In case of zombie apocalypse..
And that photo reminds me of why, despite the absence of the dreary working week that used to enslave me, Fridays still carry a certain thrill.
They’re when Fox cable tv has a mid-evening horror series, currently Wayward Pines, but soon to be once again my favourite, The Walking Dead.

Would you run away from this zombette?
Have a Fun Friday!
