katsarisThe mood above isn't exactly right. More like 2/3rds annoyed, 1/3rd apologetic.

First of all, it seems that a Greek TV Station (NET) has been showing Star Trek: Enterprise during the weekends, 8 PM.
I had no idea -- I came across it mid-ep, as I was changing channels. When, surprised, I later looked at the TV Guide, I saw the reason I had missed it.
The station has translated "Star Trek: Enterprise" into "Mission in Space".
Do I need to make any further comments?
Didn't think so.

Secondly, I'm tired, tired, *sick and tired* of all those people who in TV political discussions (or politcal ads) claim that PASOK has become a right-wing party. My ears have been suffering these idiots (and even worse - uncontested idiots) for long years and they are giving me the urge to strangle them through the TV screen. Especially when they are at the same time mentioning the usual bogeymen of "globalisation", "New World Order" and ofcourse "America".
No, thank you very much. Some countries could perhaps *do* with some more socialism, BUT Greece is currently suffering (and has been suffering a long time) from socialism-overload. Anyone who thinks that the Greek government (or PASOK) isn't socialistic enough to call itself leftist would probably not be satisfied until we lived in a full-fledged Soviet dictatorship.
When I was leaning towards voting ND that was my primary reason for so doing -- thinking that PASOK may have well reached its utmost limits in doing what it could to combat its own former policies, and that a true economically right-wing party might be needed to move us further.
Mind you the Greek "right-wing" is still on the economical left side of the American political spectrum. :-)
This wasn't a ramble, btw. This was just frustration-overspill.
-----
Third, a big big apology to those friends of mine, whom I may have seemed neglectful of during the last couple days. Either through email delays or breaking off chats earlier on than I would have liked.
Sorry, sorry, sorry! A thousand apologies! Love ya all a bunch. :-)
