"Think tanks" in Greece, as a good friend aptly noted today, are really "sit tanks," vessels that accommodate useless "academics" on political appointments (those who wish to add an 'h' to the verb 'sit' may be even closer to the true identity of these 'institutions' in Greece).

They have Sith tanks in Greece? No wonder things are bad.
