Italy is falling  and I’m riding it upside down

February 10th 2006. Our reports from the General Elections front no. 3

Ok. Let's try to picture it in a single phrase. Hold your breath.

Aired from one of the TV channels owned by the Prime minister, a TV show -- hosted by a woman former Head of Parliament nominated during a past charge by the same Prime Minister -- has been fined by the Guarantor Authority of Information because it significantly violated the pre-electoral propaganda rules by 'lacking in objectivity, equity, loyalty, impartiality and plurality of points of views', obviously pending completely on the Prime Minister's side. Here. Puff. I almost made it.

Too bad in the same phrase, already quite unbelievable as it is, I should have added that the Prime Minister (always the same one) snapped furiosly after the epsiode, attacking the Autority for the Information that fined the mentioned Show on his own TV. He suggested that the Guarantor Authority for Information must be politically driven by communists to attack him and his TVs. This was clearly before he rushed away to extinguish the fire in his pants.

Oh, the criminal idiocy you face in this country is just overwhelming. Too bad it is also boring. Like a comic film is boring when nothing serious happens between the gags.
