RANT & RAVE: The New Greek Flag

I simply had to share this brilliant cartoon that I came across today. It's entitled 'The New Greek Flag' and is from the '9' magazine of the Athens newspaper, Eleftherotypia. It shows the Greek Flag in different stages of 'mathematical expression' - it's self-evident when one looks at it. And hilarious. Like all images in my blog, you can click on it to enlarge it.



I rave about this cartoon because it is yet another example of the sheer genius and the sheer necessity for satirical comment in any political discourse.

And I rant about it because, funny and clever as it is, it is still a painfully ironic reminder of the huge sell-out that the Greek people suffered yesterday. A sell-out whereby their government agreed to be bullied by Germany and France and will now be in the clutches of that most nefarious of organizations, the IMF.

My heart goes out to the Greek people. All I can offer is my outrage and my continued solidarity with their struggle against a crisis that was not their doing.

Do you get my point?
