Apparently Greece has stopped the export of Tzatziki and Taramasalata… They’re worried about a double dip recession…
– Bert Trubshaw, seen in the comments over on the Telegraph.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Very droll.
Ah! but the Irish have been exporting, exporting – that is they have found work working for others outside Ireland, and thus defeated much of the hugger-mugger about their “high” Unit Labor Cost.
Problem may come to be for Ireland (and Greek specialities) that the rest of us will not have enough left after taxes to buy any of what they have on offer.
Obviously from someone with a great sense of humous.
Groan… but keep ’em coming 😀
Apparently, the Irish are planning to open a new Guinness brewery because they were told by Mervyn King that they were experiencing a liquidity crisis.
New entrepreneurs are wary of opening fast food takeaway shops. They keep hearing that the market is saturated.

Alternatively they could dip into the European Stability Fondue
Beware Greeks bearing dips.
Greece: making a drachma out of a crisis
Heard on Radio 2 yesterday.
To be serious for a little while…..
The whole European Union debate is a false one.
On one side we have people (such as the Chancellor of Germany) supporting yet more bailouts – for Greece and everywhere else.
And the other side (such as the Comrades at the “Financial Times”) we have people demanding full “fiscal union” (Euro bonds, E.U. taxes – and so on).
Notice what is missing?
Yes – nobody is argueing for LESS statism, or even that the level of statism be kept the same.
All the “big people” are arguing for yet MORE statism – just in different forms.
