Berlusconi

That man is a laughing stock of the whole world. How can someone so stupid, become so rich? By beeing a racist, coldhearted bastard. How can the italians vote for such a fool?

I have *no* idea, Jesper

I was still recovering from the news of his third stint in charge, and now he goes and gets a second job. Isn’t there really enough to do with running the country? Or does he have a union contract for 32 hours a week? That would leave at least an afternoon for the recording studio, right? To say nothing of the hour and a half a week for the tanning booth. People just don’t understand. It takes a special kind of guy to run a country like this.

So very true Diana. So very true.

I would say he’s crossed the line with this one but he keeps moving the line.

Yeah, the line concept is a tricky thing around here, isn’t it?

Our politicians are too busy slinging *stuff* at each other and everyone around them to do anything nice like… singing.

Perhaps we will send them to Italy for a break, so that they can get the idea of enjoying life and all the things that make life lovely; good people, good food, good fun, good living… and then they will sing.

Meantime, it’s pretty hairy over here in Denver… the city has become a mob scene.

I was in Philly when the Republicans met there several years back…mob scene really is a good word for it. *So* frustrating to do the simplest, every day things! At least you have the good side there…although I *did* get to exchange smiles with Brian Williams (and Tom Brokaw) so all was not lost….

I guess McCain is still young too at 72 yrs. old. Let’s not talk about Bologna or baloney. My maiden name is Bellone and when I started school in America I got teased by everyone calling me baloney.
Since I was still learning english and being naive I would always correct them that it wasn’t spelled the same way, but they didn’t care they went by the sound. Talk about stupidity!
What about Torino e Turin during the Olympics?

Hey, I invite everyone to read the Italian version of Shelly’s quasiromana blog. Molto divertente!

Oh that must have been a scarring experience. No, let’s not go there.

And yes, you remind me that I need to link to Shelley’s new blogs! Will also mention them in a post soon

Nope, I won’t be buying that. I’ll stick with the french president’s wife’s albums

Btw… maybe Berlu, Bill and Carla Bruni can start a trio, just like Amy Tan, Stephen King, and Dave Barry (and I forget the others) have their “side” music project?

Do you remember Clinton wailing on his sax on the Arsenio Hall show or are you too young?

Um… McCain and music would freak me out. If Obama’s had anything to do with his rally choices, he ROCKS.

I remember Jen! Clinton was the first president I voted for

It’s “Nea” because the Greeks called the first settlement here “Neapolis,” meaning “new city.” That was 3000 years ago, though, so it’s one of the oldest new cities around…

Hilarious about Berlu’s CD… Sheesh… Why doesn’t he just stick to entertaining? I don’t know if you’ve ever seen “Boston Legal” but I caught it at my folks’ while I was back in the states and it struck me that Berlusconi is the Italian “Denny Crane.”

Oh, to answer your question, I *won’t* be buy Berlu’s CD. I’m saving up for Fratello Metallo’s latest! ;P

Wow. That is pretty cheezy. Don’t think I’d be buying it. And not buying a duets album between the Obama and McWalkingCane either.

I would buy one from Bush because inevitably he would screw something up. The melody, the words. it would be something. He makes the best bloopers. Sad that thats the only thing he is good for though.

But what about a duet album with Obama and Hillary Clinton? I kid. I kid.

Cherrye and I were talking about a Bush album, actually…I would also love to see him dance to it
