Oh god, this is like reading a novel after it has passed through a horse's gut and emerged on the other side.

I apologize for my remark above, where I allowed my passions to overrule my intellect. It was inaccurate and inappropriate. Even though I don't agree with much of the argument, the live-blogging was a good effort and I hope to see more.

Ostgeld krisis
Länder vor der Pleite: Der ungarische Forint, der polnische Zloty, die tschechische Krone und der rumänische Lei stehen massiv unter Druck. EU-Währungskommissar Almunia warnt bereits vor dem Schlimmsten.

"Wir sind politisch und wirtschaftlich darauf eingerichtet, uns diesem Krisenszenario zu stellen", sagte EU-Währungskommissar Joaquin Almunia am Dienstag in Brüssel. Die Kommission plant kein generelles Hilfspaket, sondern will von Fall zu Fall entscheiden.
