Italy Gets it Wrong Again

I remember that cold winter day in Edmonton in 1975 when Horror-luck was re-elected mayor. He was a convicted crook. But Edmontonians loved him, I guess. They named parks after him.

I remember I could barley summon the will to get out of bed.

Now, history repeats itself on a grander, more operatic scale.

Berlusconi, a crook and a scoundrel of ever there was one, has been re-elected prime minister of Italy for the third time.

Whatever are they thinking over there?

Read the tragic story here, and weep for a beautiful country lost in the haze.
