Maxine Jokes About Saturdays

taken from the collection of fairy tales "The Adventures of Silvio and Other Stories."

Once upon a time, long ago, a large family large and very powerful. All (or most) of its components were living happily in their villas around the beautiful country, surrounded, consciously or unconsciously, from beautiful butterflies, elegant and sinuous as a dress by Versace. The family was guided with love and joy from the Father, loved by everyone, and all for this, called Papi.
happened one day, however, that the family was in one of his most beautiful villas, villa Olivetta: This villa was located in Portofino and had a huge park, where Popes are often entertained, whether alone or with his guests. Well, that day, the big windows of the house, they heard the voice of Papi, shouting, threatening from the garden:
\u0026lt;Come on, hit me, stupid. It 's all this your strength? Hit harder, even harder>.
Everyone thought a thief or a fight with some attacker, and noticed immediately. The scene that presented itself before their eyes silenced them.
Papi was there, on the lawn. Only. Jumping, backward, advancing, discarded to the side and took up position, with his right arm close to protect the jaw and the left that stretched fast against the opponent. That was not there.
....

The fairy tale continues. This is a very popular tale, which follows the stories of popes and all of its family and soon to be turned into a blockbuster TV: Berlusconi. Tell the story of a great man, successful, loved and celebrated. Without limits and without anyone who so orders. The story of a perfect life, the character / hero perfect?
Maybe. Or maybe not. Since antiquity because we are told that every self-respecting history must have a protagonist and an antagonist that creates the difficulty, the trigger that starts the action and allows the player to prove his value solving the same problems along the unraveling of the plot.
History of the Popes, however, lacks everything. Berlusconi is just TOO, TOO successful, loved and celebrated. TOO. It 'an excess per se.

It 's true: the level of consensus it enjoys, require him to present himself as the political representative of all Italians being short, the President, in fact, even before the new Constitution brought to light and shadow, the essence of which is the unification of powers in a single figure. The image that is shaped the law (understood in the broadest sense of the word) ad personam, the government ad personam, Italy ad personam .* It has a nice little saying that he, the Constitution follows the letter, knows by heart, and sings the first article, one that says that "sovereignty belongs to the people." And then the stituzionalizzazione legitimize the drift of his populist political .
Very well, nothing to say. The first part of the sa. But the second? Why, President, Article 1 continues and says that sovereignty, which belongs to the people, it is exercised "in the forms and limits of the Constitution."
To be legally recognized, therefore, the power of the majority must be expressed in its constitutional form , respecting constitutional limits, which define the area where the government can assert its right to govern in a fair and justified.

But not all. Back to our story.
Mr Berlusconi is not the first come in bright and glossy world of media. He knows how to package a good story, compelling, taking glued to the screen.
therefore could not escape this gap in the plot that he was concerned.
He needs an enemy, he needs an excuse to get out of this place from which it can act only in defense and attack.
And he has tried several times: through laws, decrees, declarations, even personal attacks. If you remember just one, the attack on the chairman of the board of magistrates, Nicoletta Gandus: Premier insults, mud it credibility and reputation, so to save their own thinking with the rest of the world. But the Gandus gives him no satisfaction from the peaceful independence that inspired the proceedings on the Mills case which upheld the latest episodes with imperturbable silence. And the Premier
rages even more. Berlusconi wants a fight, basks in the public discourse that makes noise and confounds the cards on the table, and that allows him to radicalize his consent. He knows that his constituency does not like robes and so desperately search the conflict with the judiciary, which will allow him to finally return to play the role of victim, hero torteggiato carrying out the legitimate revenge, or better, which restores the balance of justice.

If the judiciary to answer, the Premier could do this. But apparently the judges do not know, inflexible and fearless, like windmills silhouetted against the sky of Consuegra. So the imaginary conflict with the judiciary in the field sees only a Fighter: Berlusconi.
To evoke the danger needs to recall an episode of the electorate than fifteen years ago, the famous notice of for corruption. But it is a stale
track, which is no longer taking on anyone, and that is even more faded in the eyes of the scandal that has raged despite his attempts to media repression. Meanwhile, he feels perhaps
sgretolarglisi the ground under their feet, embroiled in a battle that would enable him to fight on the most suitable position and unable to find the "fair and unequal duel" that would allow him to redeem himself in the eyes of world - or at least that part of the world ranging from Villa Certosa at Palazzo Chigi.



* back to " the Berlusconi case" it is precisely this fact that prevents you from considering the whole gossip happened: it was Berlusconi himself to weave so aware of his future political leaders "accountable to voters" (Reuters, November 23 1999, ore 15 : 17) and his past as a successful entrepreneur in a single destiny. Was to disappear so the already thin line separating public and private in her life. Then he had a point, rather, its intent was very specific and highly strategic: his personal success was a guarantee and promise of development of the country, as his money was guaranteed and the promise of its policy. The richness as the certificate of infallibility.
