Someone's Unhappy In Greece?

Greece rocked by riots as up to 60,000 people take to streets to protest against government. OK, maybe a few people aren't happy, but it can't be too important, or our Media would cover it, right? Or is Congressman McGropey too big of a story to cover that warrants dismissal of an entire country's economic and governmental breakdown? And really, that couldn't happen here, could it?
