Say it ain’t so, Silvio, Part II

Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi resigned last Wednesday, vowing that he wouldn’t be gone very long. On Saturday (let’s count: mercoledì, giovedì, venerdì, sabato!), Silvio was sworn in as premier after naming a team of ministers that looks very much like the one he led when he stepped down on mercoledì. With a little bit of rearranging, he came back on sabato with a “new” government and went back to work. This is interesting because it’s virtually the same group of people, but between mercoledì and sabato, they became a whole new government. If you’re counting, that’s officially the 60th government since the end of WW II. In Italy, it takes longer to cook linguine than it does to form a new government. Conservatives in the U.S. should pay attention. Treason number nine: Be bold, and don’t take any crap. If you’re down, don’t stay down. Do what needs to be done and get back to work. Worried about what the press might say? Remember the words of JP 2: Be not afraid. Congratulazioni, Silvio. Face it, the man has some big garbanzos.
