Berlusconi and his ministers
Many ministers of the Berlusconi government do everything to be bad, up to the point of insulting the opposition. It's a typical sign of the states that are sliding towards dictatorship to see people with institutional responsibilities that seek to intimidate and threaten half the country, the half that didn't voted them. It's also a typical sign of guilty conscience. These ministers know that their policies are weak, and try to deflect attention with verbal violence.

Susanna and the old men by Guido Reni
Italian newspapers have published minutes of the interrogation of Gianpaolo Tarantini, the entrepreneur in Bari, Puglia, investigated for selling cocaine and abetting prostitution, who said to have brought about 30 girls at the residence of italian premier Silvio Berlusconi in Rome, Palazzo Grazioli, and in other sites between September 2008 and January 2009. Some of them received a compensation of EUR 1,000 for sexual services, other only a reimbursement of expenses, said Tarantini on July 29.

Berlusconi among the ruins in L'Aquila
More and more people realize that our premier is anti-democratic and dangerous for democracy. The Church realizes that, too, after the attacks against its newspaper and the inhumane immigration laws. The European Union, the foreign press, even the Italian economists realize it. Because his attacks multiply and spread.

Chaplin in The Great Dictator
Historically, dictators are stupid and almost always manage to destroy themselves. One can say that's in their nature. The attempt to seize more power as possible, rampant paranoia , the pathological need for adulation, and the tendency to surround themselves with men more stupid than they are often cause their downfall. Besides if they were of sound mind they would not be dictators.

Berlusconi on tv
The real question is why he does it. Why he tries to control more and more the Italian information, why he is not content to control up to 80% of the national media. Why does he think that this level of control is not enough to win, to stay in power. The answer is that he has too many weaknesses, and therefore also the minimum space of free press can be a danger to him.

Berlusconi
Ask questions and expect a politician to answer exhaustively is normal practice of independent journalism in all the world except Italy. Obviously, the politician could refuse to answer, but in other countries of the world this would be unacceptable in the eyes of his own voters. A politician who doesn't answer questions appear to be a person with something to hide.

immigrants boat
Most Italians just don't to understand why it's criminal, inhumane and immoral to reject in Libya immigrants arriving by sea. The members of the government don't understand either, maybe because they ended up being victims of their own propaganda. The Minister of legislative simplification Calderoli says it's not good to let people come to Italy, because immigration deprives the country of origin of labor force and anyway our country cannot accommodate everyone.

Berlusconi_GheddafiWhen they met last year and they smiled in front of the photographers who immortalized the event, it was difficult seeing in these two men in their seventies (with dyed hair and fake smile) the leaders of two countries that were "making peace", after years and years of hostility. Now, after one year, on August 30, they will celebrate the first anniversary of the "friendship treaty" between Libya and Italy.

Northern League leader Bossi
While the world rightly continues to laugh at this ridiculous country, in Italy happen things that aren't funny at all. It's not funny that 73 refugees have died at sea while no one cared enough to help them. It's not funny the fact that the five survivors, under the new security decree, may be prosecuted for illegal immigration. It's not funny playing the game "bounce the clandestine" created on Facebook by the son of Northern League leader Bossi.

Alieno Disney da Toy Story
Borghezio è un leghista di cui sarebbe meglio non scrivere mai, perché rappresenta il peggio del peggio della Lega. Condannato per violenza privata su un ragazzino di 12 anni, condannato per incendio doloso dei pagliericci di alcuni senza tetto, noto alle cronache perché andava in giro a disinfettare i posti dei treni dove erano sedute ragazze nigeriane e recentemente nuovamente famigerato per aver detto in Francia che il regionalismo è il modo per riciclarsi senza sembrare neofascisti nostalgici

Berlusconi and Interior ministry Maroni
"The government will implement a long-term and hopefully final plan against the forces of evil, not only against widespread crime but also against organized crime." It's the new amazing promise of the President of the Council. Because now we know that Berlusconi is mostly a tv seller we'll take this news with some skepticism, partly because we have yet to see if will be maintained his latest amazing promises made to l'Aquila earthquake victims.
