I Wish American Politics Was As Interesting As Italian Politics

It’s not everyday one guy calls the other guy’s supporters “retarded”.

Mr Berlusconi used the word “grullo”, a grave insult in Florentine dialect.

The phrase recalled his use of the word “coglione”, or testicle, to describe opposition supporters at the last election in 2006.

However, the perma-tanned billionaire committed one gaffe too many when he went on to insult Italy’s iconic football player, Francesco Totti.

Upon hearing that Mr Totti was supporting his rivals, he shrugged: “Those with nothing between their ears have nothing between their ears.”

Mr Totti has repeatedly been lampooned in Italy for being ignorant. The footballer’s legions of fans rapidly forced Mr Berlusconi into an apology.

Even Giulio Andreotti, Italy’s former prime minister, joined the fray, accusing Mr Berlusconi of being “offside”.

Mr Berlusconi grovelled: “I am sorry. I love Totti. He’s a good boy.

Thanks to Ace.

If You Try To Sell Fake Crack To Old People

Don’t be surprised if you get arrested.

Police arrested Hillmon Arnold outside the Golden Retreat Shelter Care Center at Moncrief Road and Golfair Boulevard, according to his arrest report.

Police interviews showed that a man was selling small pieces of bread that looked like crack cocaine in Tylenol pill bottles to the clients at the center for $5, the report said.

If You Thought You Had An Interesting Bachelor Party

These guys have you beat

In the video, approximately 10 men are seen outdoors at what appears to be a private property, where drinking was involved. Many of the participants are identifiable as Knox County sheriff’s deputies. Someone in the crowd zaps the groom-to-be with an electroshock weapon, commonly referred to by its brand name Taser, and other men join in to do the rest of the hazing-like job.

According to a Maine law enacted by the Legislature in 2005, using an electronic weapon on anyone is a Class D crime, which is a misdemeanor, unless its use is by a law enforcement officer in an official capacity or in official training. A person may use a Taser to defend themselves or a third person or in defending their dwelling place, according to Maine law. The penalty for a Class D crime is up to one year in jail and up to a $2,000 fine.

On Thursday, Dennison, Chief Deputy Ernest McIntosh, Commissioners Mason Johnson and Anne Beebe-Center, acting County Administrator Jeffrey Northgraves, and jail Administrator Maj. John Hinckley viewed the video at VillageSoup’s Rockland office.

Today’s Professioanl Athlete Getting THE TASER

The bouncers attempted to control the 6′1″ 240 LB pitcher but could not, and Reyes began pushing them.

Tampa Police Officer S. Barber, who was working extra-duty at the establishment, approached and yelled “Stop Police!”

When Reyes continued spitting blood and thrashing about, Officer Barber advised Reyes that he was going to deploy his taser.

Shortly thereafter, he did exactly that, knocking Reyes to the ground.

However, Reyes began to get up, ignoring commands to stay down.

When the taser was deployed a second time, Reyes gave in.

If You Were Waiting For A Story About An Attractive Female Bobsleigher

Wait no longer.
And not only is she attractive, but she will be on the British Version of “American Gladiators”.

“It is going to be even better this time around,” says Anderson, in between rehearsals for the latest show.

“Overall the fitness and ability is much higher than it was.”

Gladiators originated in America in 1989 with its elite team of superhero characters pitted against members of the public for a range of physically challenging activities.

It came to Britain in 1992, with Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu as hosts, and was an instant Saturday night hit for ITV.

“Unlike the ‘family viewing’ of today, this really was one for the entire family,” says original Gladiator Nikki Diamond, a.k.a. Scorpio.

It was unusual British fare; pumped-up beefcake in Lycra, bashing up wannabe beefcake picked from gruelling public rounds.

Sigh. The Nanny State Strikes Again.

This time, a famous competition is under assault for “safety” reasons.

More than 15,000 spectators normally flock to the East Sussex town to watch madcap aviators in bizarre costumes attempt to fly.

But 50ft was shorn from the pier last month, meaning competitors have 12ft of water below them instead of 14ft – leaving the council fearing possible compensation claims.

Competition chairman Barry Jones, who had already accepted entrants from Germany and America, said: “It is the most terrible thing. It’s not quite the end of the world but we are pretty depressed. We are apprehensive as to whether it will ever happen in Bognor again.”

Ron “Bald Eagle” Freeman, 52, from Newcastle, won the contest for a record eighth time last year with a jump of 72.7 metres and was intent of defending his title.

He said: “I am gutted for everyone. It is a terrible day for the Birdman and I hope an alternative venue can be found.”

If You Are A Pr0n Star Who Is Running For Political Office

Here is one way to attract attention to your campaign.

Targeting her male fan base, the veteran of Italy’s adult entertainment industry has plastered images of her derriere all around the Eternal City in a bid to win a seat in Rome’s city hall.

If elected, D’Abbraccio wants to create a red light area with strip clubs, erotic discos and sex shops called “Love City” just kilometers away from the Vatican.

“It would be something cute, clean – nothing to do with prostitution,” said the actress whose films include “The Kiss of the Cobra” and “Paolina Borghese, Imperial Nymphomaniac”.

D’Abbraccio, in her 40s, isn’t the first adult entertainer to dip her painted toenails into Italian politics. Ilona Staller, known as “Cicciolina”, sat in parliament in the 1980s and was famous for her impromptu stripteases.
