An Italian radio program's story about Iceland’s on-going revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world. Americans may remember that at the start of the 2008 financial crisis, Iceland literally went bankrupt. The reasons were mentioned only in passing, and since then, this little-known member of the European Union fell back into oblivion.

Just my $.02
You disabled Mikey?
Actually, a distaste for bullshit is quite common among the sane portion of our population.
That wasn't the disability I had in mind.
You maintain trolling this forum is not your job, right? Do you go to a workplace every day?
I thought trolls THRIVED on "mierda de toro".
Starting with the fact that Iceland is not a member of the EU, and may not be accepted into it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_of_Iceland_to_the_European_Union
And of course Iceland was the jumping off point for the European 'discovery' of America (with apologies to the 15,000 year incumbent residents). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinland
Nice catch. The rest of the article remains valid.
