IdBing wrote a new diary post: Two Articles Worth Reading
Two articles in the Guardian (UK, formerly the Manchester Guardian and a workingman’s paper, printed on thin white paper with long articles, copies of which made it as far as NY and which may have had some influence on my intellectual outlook) the last two days relevant to my pieces: First, Costas Lapavistas on the European [...]

IdBing commented on the diary post Greece, like Egypt, enters a pre-revolutionary period by Bill Perdue.
Readers who want to know more about the particulars in today’s Greece can read my article – not a cheerful piece, I confess – on the way hospitals and medical care are being dismantled in that country. It’s been reprinted here on FDL and I’ve updated it every so slightly at http://www.groundreport.com/Politics/This-Is-Your-Future-3-Greek-Medicine-and-the-ICC/2950002 It’s part of [...]

To Captjjyossarian, I would respectfully submit that if PR held their protest OUTSIDE the church, neither you nor I would ever have heard of it. Anyone watching and listening to the video on [...]

IdBing commented on the diary post Some Get Prizes, Others Jail: Kostas Vaxevanis and a Tale of Two Reporters by GREYDOG.
This Is Iddhis Bing, the author of the article upstairs, and I just want to thank you for the reactions. Meant 100 percent sincerely. Toiling away unpaid in an unheated shack outside of Paris, this is as good as lumber for the fire. Norman Mailer said smthng about journalists being such sons of bitches because [...]
