Doom it may concern.
It’s Morgan Kelly.
With his high forehead, cruel lips and remorseless logic, he’s put the enigma back into economics.
But who is he?
Here’s six fun facts about Morgan Kelly you can take to the bank!
1. He wasn’t always right. As a young boy he assumed flying cars would be in production by 2000. It’s 2011 and the motor car remains a stricly earth-bound vehicle.
2. At the 1975 Aer Lingus Young Scientist Competition, Morgan entered a Walkman prototype which involved two Marshall speakers in a wheelbarrow. His hatred of authority was born in the RDS that year, say pals.
3. During his freshers term at Trinity he was voted “boy most likely to say ‘I Told You So’.
4. He advised the members of Dublin rock band, The Asshats to change their name. “They, of course, went on to become U2,” he regularly reminds pals.
5. Morgan has been married five times. “I know all about costly mistakes,” he likes to joke with pals.
6. ‘Morgan’s Peers’, his new RTE series starts in the Autumn. “It’s going to a one-man show,” he jokingly predicts to pals.

Early in the afternoon last Friday, Der Spiegel dropped a monster bombshell when it said that Greece was threatening to leave the Eurozone, and that an emergency meeting had been convened for that night among top leaders.
It was obviously partially true.
There was a meeting on Friday, and there is an acknowledgment that the current bailout path is unsustainable.
But the explosive report always seemed a little fishy, like something emanating from interested German sources.

A Lithuanian man told Gardai he shoved an iron bar up another man’s rectum and then urinated on him to make little of him as is the tradition in his country because he owed him money for drugs, a trial in Galway heard yesterday.
Really? We usually find a terse email and a little light snubbing does the trick.
