That is some scary stuff. I remember seeing someone who was in Iceland and was blogging about everything but I cant find it, can someone bring that back up?

A more correct term would be that Iceland's ruling coalition has collapsed, a not uncommon event in a parliamentary system. Even at that , it is a very significant event.

They had a bonfire.
a few kids threw some eggs.
the cops deployed CS gas.
The Kronar was devalued
Parliamentary plurality was altered and re-established
The sun still rises in the east,
the kids still need to clean up their room,
and your wife probably doesnt think you need any more ammo.

Fortunately, I have avoided marriage, children and the night shift, so I can buy more ammo !
