A naked protester runs past the parliament in Syntagma Square in Athens during a violent protest against the visit of Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel October 9, 2012.
Germany's Angela Merkel arrived in Greece on her first visit since Europe's debt crisis erupted here three years ago, braving protests to deliver a message of support - but no new money - to a nation hammered by recession and fighting to stay in the euro. Athens went into security lock down for the visit as some 50,000 protesters made a show of discontent against painful austerity cuts.

Recalling the four-year occupation and looting of her country by the Nazis in World War II, I offer my comment to German Prime Minister Angela Merkel, taken from the Roman lyric poet Horace: "For the sins of your fathers, you, though guiltless, must suffer."
maybe ive been single too long, but the naked picture totally turned me on.
I like the fifth picture. That is a great way to welcome the budgetNazi Merkel. If I were them, I'd like to give her a Clint Eastwood Outlaw Jose Wales kind of welcome, the kind he gave Redlegs.
It is ironic that Germany is doing this to them...crushing them economically. This is what happened to Germany after World War I when the victors imposed austerity on them. We all know who Germany voted for as a result in 1933. I wonder if the Greeks will eventually do something similar.
