Hey, Blog Guy, I read that President Bush was going to meet with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Does he live in a grand home like the White House?
Well, I’m looking at this news photo showing security for the meeting, and I gather Berlusconi lives in a well-guarded video store. The Italians love their films - spaghetti westerns, Federico Fellini - so they must think this is a great residence. Note the cops have “carabinieri” on their shields, which I believe is the Italian word for “rewind.”
Hmm. I think this may be more of your moronic misinformation. How many hours will they be meeting?
Stop it! Will Berlusconi be asking for anything from Bush?
Sure. A Fistfull of Dollars.
Sigh. I don’t know why I keep coming back to this blog…

So…. The video store needs a line of 9 cops to protect it because a protest is going on concerning Bush’s visit to Rome… I suppose this is something like when all the cops in the US protect the donut shop during… well everything… Interesting how heart, lungs, and vital organs are not shielded but face and nether regions are impeccably defended… priorities, priorities….

Mainly the bad and the ugly, though.
