In the Italian Parliament a bill drafted by Gabriella Giammanco, an ally of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, has made its way to Parliament’s Justice Committee. If the bill becomes law it will be illegal to ban the keeping of pets in any home no matter what any evil landlord says. It will also guarantee the right of people to take their pets into nursing homes and even hospitals. The law will apply to companion animals only.
Even though she is the ally of a sexist, corrupt idiot, we forgive Gabriella Giammanco everything and award her the title...
BRICK OF THE DAY
MadPriest is hoping to be able to pop over to Italy and personally hand the award to Ms. Giammanco (maybe over dinner in a quiet Venetian restaurant, just the two of us and, afterwards a gondola ride, along the moonlit canals until the sun rises over the Adriatic...).
By which time, the local Mafia will have consigned your concrete-jacketed body to the bottom of said canal.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise one of your best ideas to date!
I'm sure Mrs MP will enjoy the trip to Italy as well. snerk.
ReplyDeleteAs Missus MP finishes you off w/ a mighty WHACK! of the gondola oar...
ReplyDelete[She's pretty, but I'm afraid the phrase "an ally of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi" makes the Happy go away.]
I believe I must accompany you, as the Latin American Representative, simply to ensure that everything is above board and all.
ReplyDeleteYou can steer the gondola, Padre. Traditional costume, of course. And you can serenade us with "Louie Louie" all night.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, she's the brick of the year. Very, very impressive.
