OK, dang it, it looks like the Greeks are onto us. Here's a map of Europe as they see it through U.S. eyes.

It's not true at all! Well, maybe only a little.

OK, it's true. But about that "Democracy" part - we have to talk.

[Kaslin]

Democracy originated in Athens, Greece

[Ezekiel]

>>>As much as I condemn American politicians for bad policy, things could be worse.

We could be Greek citizens, which would be very depressing. Indeed, you’ll understand why I put Obamaland in the title after you read today’s column. <<<

Daniel 8

21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom [sing.], when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Verse 23

"fierce countenance" = strong-faced (az panim), idiom for insolent, brazen, audacious

"understanding dark sentences" = (mavin chidot) one knowledgeable/expert in enigmas (an enigma maven)

...things could be worse. We could be Greek citizens...
