A strange night.
Riots in Greece. Ecological catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. The volcanic ash cloud hugely over the Atlantic ocean.
And the three so obvious signs that the present order simply cannot hold totally ignored.
The draconian and patently unjust sufferings of the Greek people presented as an inescapable fact of life.
New oil discovered at massive depth off the Malvinas.
And no-one even want to mention the ash cloud.
And it's almost 11.30; we've had one election result; and the pundits are all sitting about in the studios trying to pass the time as if everything was the same as it ever was.
But life is in suspension, i feel.
Not just in the (comparatively trivial) party political world but on a deeper level too.
