The scientific editors of Selecting Stones would like to take this opportunity to briefly congratulate Alexis Tsipras and Syriza for their stunning victory in Greece’s elections today.
Although we understand the reasons why this is exceedingly unlikely to happen, the scientific editors of Selecting Stones would also like to encourage the KKE to take the plunge and join a coalition government, 
just this one time. Go ahead, try something new! Why not? Do you really want Syriza to run a government cobbled together with some lame centrists?
And as one final thought for the day, the scientific editors would like to briefly comment on Greece’s sovereign debt and the European Central Bank. Here at Selecting Stones, we love to shit all over ECB president Mario Draghi every chance we get. He deserves it every day, but especially today. The ECB announced a few days ago a massive bond-buying program (i.e., “quantitative easing”) in the eurozone, but with Greek debt specifically excluded. It’s an idiotic policy, if you think about it. It doesn’t help either the proletariat or the bourgeoisie, really. We suppose that maybe it helps Angela Merkel’s psychotherapist, if she even has one.
