What A Whiner
The Guardian has an article on another Austerian looking to deflect the blame for his country’s slip back into recession: David Cameron blames UK double-dip recession on eurozone.
It doesn’t occur to Mr. Cameron that the reason the eurozone is in such sad shape is because of the same policies he is pursuing in the UK. When people are out of work, they can’t buy things, so demand falls, which puts even more people out of work. The process is well-understood by everyone but the Austerians.
Greece, Spain, Ireland, et al. were forced into taking the austerity measures by the Angie-Nickie cabal. No one forced David Cameron to do it. Austerity in the UK was a free choice by the Conservatives. You have to be reality disconnected from reality to think that massive government cut-backs in a weak economy is going to do anything other than make things worse.

Hexennacht
It’s Hexennacht and the moon is waxing gibbous [between first quarter and full, but there is no Blocksberg available for dancing down here and local fire officials frown on bonfires during “Fire Weather Warnings”.
Of course the Church grabbed this holiday too and called it Walpurgisnacht in honor of one of their Anglo-Saxon saints, rather than good German witches [Hexen].
The Celts celebrate Beltaine at this time of the year.
