Why deliberately go poking around among nasty, disreputable ideas? Why look under rocks? I do it, first of all, for the same reason I did look under rocks as a kid: plain curiosity. And I'm especially curious about anything that's forbidden... And you especially need a brain that's in the habit of going where it's not supposed to.

Dirty Greek - Athens has blackout just before olympics
  General : Athens has blackout just before olympics
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.

Not a good sign:
The worst blackout in more than a decade hit Athens and southern Greece on Monday, leaving millions sweltering in a heat wave and raising concerns about whether the lights will go out at next month's Olympics.

The government blamed the outage on "mismanagement" of the electricity grid. Still, officials promised the network was ready to handle the Aug. 13-29 Olympics.
Hmmm... perhaps if the government didn't pay for the Greek Orthodox Church, it'd have more money for these sorts of things?

Just a thought.
