Wall Street Fakes Worry Over Greece’s Election

Index futures are down the equivalent of 100 Dow points Sunday evening on news that Greece’s leftist lunatic fringe has voted itself into power.  We should wish the victors rotsa ruck exploiting whatever spoils they’ve deluded themselves into thinking they’ve won. Meanwhile, just as one would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh on reading of the death of Little Nell, one would have to have a brain of tapioca to think an election in Athens will trouble Wall Street for long.  By noon Monday, Sunday night’s selloff will look like the brazen shakedown of dumb money that it is. This is notwithstanding the fact that European markets have not exactly taken the news in stride.
