La terra dei cachi
Published January 25, 2008
So … yeah, as you probably have read from all the news websites, we don’t have a government anymore.
Which, in all honesty, is not really the problem.
The problem is that I am starting to get ashamed of my country every day more and more.
The problem is that in Italy we don’t just screw up stuff, we do it with style.
And so it happens that you find total assholes like Umberto Bossi on TV shouting to the cameras: “Elections now, or we will have an armed revolution” (wow, please, I beg you, do it. Maybe we’ll finally get the chance to kill you for good.)
It also happens that a senator, Cusumano, who decided to vote for keeping Prodi as Prime Minister, got attacked in front of everybody by another senator (Barbato), was spitted on the face, and was called a “piece of shit” and “faggot” from other senators.
He later collapsed and was brought to the hospital. (more drama, please)
I bet you can find scenes like this only by walking into a criminal bar in Venezuela after midnight.
Who needs the Sky Sports Channel when you live in Italy?
Switching the TV on during the past 2 days was like having an ongoing World Wrestling Federation event on all channels 24/7.
Sit back on your chair, grab your popcorns, and enjoy the show.
I miss England.
