Word of the day: kleptocracy (from the Greek κλέπτης – kleptēs, “thief” and κράτος – kratos, “power, rule).
He acknowledges that the Greek economy is still inefficient, inadequately competitive, hobbled by corruption. But he believes that only a brand new party like Syriza, even one on the left as it is, can be trusted to break up oligopolies and introduce more competition into product and labour markets. How so? Well it is because he and his Syriza colleagues are outsiders, untainted by connections to the wealthy tax-avoiding elite, lacking in connections to corporate vested interests. If Syriza is in power for a year, it too will become captured by the kleptocracy, he fears, so he wants his government to reform swiftly. His message therefore to Mrs Merkel is that he and she have more in common than she may recognise.

Here’s one for your “sure where would you get it section”. Here in Brookline, Massachusetts we’ve had about 45 inches of snow in the past ten days, with another foot or so coming over the next few days. Happy days…
Bogey Start
atRory case latest: back tomorrow at 11am after 3 adjournments today. Rumours of a possible deal. Nothing confirmed. All par for the course.

Boss Level Part Three
Literally a whole new level
Alan Newman writes:
Back in November 2013 we released a Music video called ‘Boss level‘ that featured eight rappers from across Ireland. It was the start of big things for Irish Hip Hop and its development.
In April 2014 we released Boss level part Two which features Irish alongside two heavyweight UK MC’s in an effort to broaden the audience of the project. This lead to a TV spot on RTE2’s Twotube, FM104’s Open Mic, plus three slots at Electric Picnic and many more
Part Three features 90’s USA Hip Hop legend & member of the super group ‘Jurassic 5‘, ‘Akil The MC’. Akil stands alongside seven other Irish Rapper’s to further push the boundaries of the Irish presence among the international Hip Hop stage.
Any feedback welcome.
