ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's Söcialists, who campaigned on a promise to inject a 3 billion euro ($4.36 billion) stimulus package into the economy, have won Sunday's national election with enough seats to form a government.
| $4.4 billion? Pikers. Can't even do a stimulus right. Watch the big O and learn, you Greeks ... |
No, no, Dr. Steve! Never "you Greeks," but "O Greeks", thusly:
When springs Aurora, rosy-fingered dawn
Up in the sky, to greet Apollo's golden chariot
With its great horses; driven always
By that golden youth, Apollo, golden-haired Apollo,
Ever wise, the silver-tongued Apollo,
Quicksilver-fingered player of the lyre,
Then hark! O Greeks, unto this man before you,
This Apollo manifest, this silver-tongued Obama,
Quicksilver-tongue'd, player of the liar,
Or so 'tis said, among the wise men,
Elders enhalled in the Hall of the Elders, the Senate,
No longer woolen-robed nor staid of gait and manner,
But like them hark, and listen to this man,
This Apollo, this Obama come to Earth.
Hark ye and learn, O Greeks!
One must speak to one's audience in the language they will best understand, after all. |
| My mistake, I never did study the classics properly ... |
