Frau Merkel wags finger of righteousness at Cypriots

"Don't try our patience?"

I trust that every citizen of Cyprus will be waving their middle finger right back at Frau Merkel.

The German arrogance is something to behold. How the German people, a decent enough lot nowadays in spite of their sordid history, have become the bully-boys of the Euro-zone is an interesting question. I didn't realize that Merkel was elected to be the global emissary of the banking industry.

But there she is, telling the citizens of Cyprus that they must tighten their belts for generations to come, and by the way, give up a good chunk of whatever savings they might have, in order to save the prevailing financial order.

Rob the people to save the banks.
