Greece is closed for 48 hours - flights are grounded, schools, shops and factories all quiet - as the country endures what's being called the 'mother of all strikes'. It's arguably the biggest protest since the financial turmoil that's crippling the country began - but more cuts could be coming.

I'm not sure we are there yet... Maybe by spring or summer. The kids have to camp a bit longer.

That just didn't look right. It seemed like slow pitch softball.

7. When the time comes I'll be throwing rocks underhand too...
