Berlusconi's "miracle" plan

[ddstory]

Berlusconi has practically ceased ruling in Italy for some time. Now he's merely an actor, a poseur. It's what he does best. But now - surprise, surprise! - he's come up with a giant "reform plan". Do bear with me, though. The devil is in the details. For instance, while under that plan the police in a number of regions will remain without money

That country has never ceased to have a mob problem, and some of it goes pretty far up...

If only it was that country alone.

oh, of course it's not, but Italy has its own special flavor of issues!

Italy is a good example of what Machiavelli said when he said that when you overthrow a country you need to exterminate the family line. Have a bunch of overthrows of all those city states and pretty soon you have all sorts of ex noble assholes who think they can do what they want.

Yeah, but only Italy has the Mob.
