Blueprint Rabbit Hutch

Phenomenology Varenne Jose Mourinho


Mourinho is not only the new coach: this is the litmus test of an entire people. Through him we can understand many things about the Italian character.

For example, the ' xenophilia . The Italian has been used for centuries to be the unfortunate inhabitant of a land long and narrow that ran about half the world's armies. China aside, I think we all have invaded sooner or later (but recently this gap is narrowing).
The Italian peasant lived a life that could then be periodically unprovoked and sudden arrival of other soldiers with clothing and other languages \u200b\u200bthat they would destroy everything in their path. What could he do in those cases? Barricade at home, put the bolt, and I hope it arrives soon another foreign army to free him from the previous year. You will understand, in these conditions is obvious that the Italian has developed a vision of the alien as something magical and providential not get ours, but theirs. On the other hand
Garibaldi has made Italy one with staff from the names Eber, Turr , Rustow and even the head nurse called White . The Bourbons, not to be outdone, have commissioned the strategy to a French general.

So for football. In Italy coaches are divided broadly into two categorie. Da una parte ci sono gli autoctoni: generaloni tutti d’un pezzo per strane ragioni strappati alla zappa, a disagio nella giacca e cravatta e le cui mani ti immagini profumare d’aglio; di quelli come Nereo Rocco , la cui filosofia è “ colpisci tutto quello che si muove sull’erbetta, se è il pallone tanto meglio ”. Poca tattica, tanto cuore e fiato. Strategia: 2-3 campioni in squadra e per il resto “ sette asini che corrono ”. Insomma, gli allenatori pane e salame , con una felice definizione coniata a suo tempo per Cesare Maldini .

E poi ci sono i Profeti .
Già il fatto that the foreign coach is usually designated with a biblical term speaks for itself. Generally, the prophet comes from foreign leagues as those in which the opponents line up on defense, and has won seven championships in a row playing with 2-3-5. The engagement of their weight in gold from one of those presidents who liked to throw so much money away (no names). Gets off the plane and the first press conference announcing he will play a suicidal tactics and promises certain victory. The Italian already
fan before this show melts admiration. Admire the courage of the prophet: one, why not play with dead-bolt, two, because it is not as superstitious coaches bread and salami, which also the penultimate day with 18 points ahead say that the ball is round and the matches last 90 minutes. In addition there is the 'accent : the average Italian, faced with an awkward foreigner who tries to speak our language, for reasons unfathomable melts. Happens to the tissue, also happens with the coaches.

Needless to say, then the success of the Prophet is always a puzzle. It can be a winner as Helenio Herrera, and then receive bombastic nicknames with the Wizard, or be half as the psychopathic namesake Heriberto Herrera, who was coaching the players with the anvil feet to get used to hard work ...

And all this is happening to José Mourinho in recent days. We would like to study sociology to explain the behavior of Italian journalists that he / she act like the parents with the son of six months, whatever he does, even the most trivial, is seen as a prodigy. " Look, she smiled! "
Since arriving in Italy, not a day that the press does not produce sensationalist news stories with such amazing news:" Mourinho is train the players with the ball "," Mourinho deploys three points ";" Mourinho uses slates ";" Mourinho brings his tie, "" Today Mourinho had breakfast. "

The novelty, if anything, is that this time are beginning to lose patience our own colleagues. Envy? Maybe. If one and only one is the Special One (because this would be the more accurate translation: the only really special), everyone else that they end up? Had never devoted much attention to Italian coaches who shouts twice his trophies. And since ours is not exactly a show of diplomacy, rained arrows, fights at a distance, even the most complaints. E 'was able to punch with that (fake?) Monster fair play of Ranieri, has drawn scathing statement on behalf of 'Orson Ancelotti, has annoyed Zenga, there is the famous leader of Catania said that he would like so much "stick to the teeth."

Now there are two cases. O Mourinho won the league putting 45 straight wins, and then become a national hero, another import, complete with italics and squares named after children baptized José.
Or will the sad end of the prophets out of home, forced to leave the beautiful country between the whistles of the very ones that incensed. Not before, however, he had quarreled with Spalletti, Delio Rossi , President Napolitano and Padre Pio.

How To Get High Off Cocaine

The publishing of the Mafia in the United Trabant

for the "tricks of the Zeni," I am punctual as death to indicate the new exit for Trabant Editions.

Palermo, 1893: During a train trip is killed the Commendatore Emanuele Notarbartolo , former mayor of Parlermo and former director of Banco di Sicilia. The trial against the alleged perpetrators goes on for many years to be completed in 1904 with the full acquittal for a defect. Meanwhile, Italy is a series of unprecedented reluctance, corruption and cover-up of tests for the first time public opinion in our country know the existence of the Mafia .

Starting from this incident, Napoleone Colajanni, Member of Parliament in 1900 he wrote a short essay to explain what it is and reconstruct the origins of the Mafia. And while there is points the finger not only against organized crime, but also against centuries of misrule that have ignored or even encouraged. Because, as the last pages, "to fight and distrurre the reign of the Mafia is necessary, it is essential that the Italian government would cease to be the King of the Mafia .

The council really: I personally surprised and shocked a bit ', if only for the fact that over one hundred years but could have been written yesterday. Well, folks, nothing has ever really changed.

Among other things I have to thank this gentleman if I knew the work, and I highly recommend even his novels.

And what to say? Since we do not have Saviano, the blog will disappear tomorrow, name change and if you ask me I was not there and I have not seen anything ...

Pain In Belly Button After Ce

2008: Odyssey over Lazio


Note: Because I'm lazy lately, I decided to open a phone book to bring some old blog post of the Saturnalia, the site is no longer accessible and if no one read, then just have a sense of deja-vu. This is actually the first ever, I believe in September 2006. So if the political references will seem strange, yes: two years ago in Italy there was the Prodi government. And excuse me for why you have mentioned.


The other day, thanks a horrible film on television, I was thinking how it could be the subject of a disaster movie in Italian dressing. Then

: 2008. Some disturbing events begin to occur in our beautiful country. Lightning stormed the towns of biblical proportions, bringing destruction, unexpected tides eat meters of coastline, fire broke out repeatedly. On August 3, a huge earthquake destroyed the Coliseum, and two days after an electrical storm is literally exploding the Tower of Pisa. Until now, Italian citizens are perplexed but on the whole subject. But when you start having serious problems with the lines of mobile phones, people are angry demands for an investigation into the causes of such disasters.
The government then receives a confidential SISMI which identifies the origin of anomalies in a variation of the magnetic field of astronomical origin. It was decided therefore to use advice of the highest Italian expert on the subject.

Cut: University of *** (the city remains vague to avoid complaints). Two grumpy SISMI agents are on a mission to pick up in secret *** Professor, Professor of Astrophysics. E 'student days of receipt, and they expect to resolve the issue in a few minutes, the professor put down, load it into the car and let it awaken in a secret base in the desert (ie the shares of Manfredonia).
But there is no trace of the Professor. In its place, students are received from a couple of assistants than forty years, insecure without a contract since graduation day. From a quick round of questions will I learn that the professor never happened, that the last time he was spotted in third last option was the lesson of the academic year preceding that lessons and exams are all made by his assistants and maybe - there are rumors - the books that made him famous. After much searching, we learn that perhaps at that moment is in Paris for a conference on Quasar.
Cut: Paris. The two SISMI agents finally find the professor, engaged in a dinner of oysters in a restaurant along the Seine, in the company of two ladies from unsubstantiated morality. Two hookers, it will be specified in the report. With one swift move, the officers pinned him and kidnap.

The professor wakes up in the secret base "Gassmann" Manfredonia, where he met General ***, SMS Project Manager. After an initial moment of bewilderment, he was exposed to the problem and the professor agrees to help the state, after agreeing an appropriate reward. His diagnosis was grim: a giant asteroid is heading for Rome and is already so close to upset all physical phenomena in our country. The General, as a good military, now sees the solution: to bomb the asteroid with a missile precision. So, with no little heroism, volunteers to call the Americans and ask them to destroy it. The Professor shakes his head: it would not nothing. The only hope is to get a spaceship sull'asteroide and place directly on the site of the atomic charges.
richiosa firm and an uncertain outcome that requires high technology and a handful of heroes.

The first problem is how to get there in time sull'asteroide. We need a spaceship to reach speeds never thought of before. At that point, the professor remembers his former student who had once theorized like a rocket, but was greeted with skepticism from the academic. Eventually, tired of not being able ever to win a doctorate, had moved to the U.S., where in two months he had become professor emeritus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Contacted, it says available but said that it would take ten years to develop the project. "What do you need to build it in two weeks?" Asks the General. "The one billion euro" he says. "We will."
The second problem is to find the nukes. After receiving the refusal of the French, it was decided to resort to the Iranians, hoping for a discount in the name of the old friendship of the 80s when they sell their land mines. But the asking price is still high: billions.
Then you find that the bold will go up on board the ship. One is its manufacturer, for obvious reasons. The second is the Professor needs to film, although, unlike its counterparts in the gym-American films, he is a middle-aged with the bacon. Finally we need a belle, you would find in an ambitious pilotessa the Air Force Academy distinguished itself on several occasions. But in the end prevails line of the General, who has a grandson by the legs of 2 meters with a dream to break into show business.
Filled all the pieces, the plan is submitted to the Government, which in turn will ask Parliament to finance the mission.

And here emerges the most difficulty. The opposition would not be prejudiced against the idea di salvare l’Italia, però ha promesso ostracismo ad oltranza, e così il primo giorno di votazione presenta 6.789 emendamenti. Berlusconi dichiara che è ora che la sinistra la pianti di dire sempre che va tutto male e che addirittura rischiamo la distruzione completa; su Libero, Vittorio Feltri inveisce contro i bamba che abboccano a tutte le panzane raccontate dal Soviet Supremo; Paolo Guzzanti rivela che il piano proposto dal governo non è altro che la riedizione di un vecchio piano ideato da Cossutta nel ’54, con Berlino Ovest al posto dell’asteroide; Giuliano Ferrara, da par suo, ironizza sul fastidoso buonismo di voler salvare il mondo. Ma anche all’interno della maggioranza non tutti sono d’accordo. I Verdi say they are shocked to the idea that Italy itself with nuclear weapons, and promise to boycott an invasive act that would cause havoc in the balance of nature. It soon launched the initiative "Adopt an Asteroid" and thousands of emails asking to save the existence of the soft celestial body. The hard wing of the PRC, for its part, is to know that will never give its consent to the nth action of war disguised as humanitarian purposes, and proposes to solve the problem through diplomatic channels of the asteroid. They held dozens of events with the slogan "banish war from Space," and the news Vittorio Agnoletto said that if there were any justice there would be no social risks of cosmic disaster. The newspapers of the Left, meanwhile, is struggling fiercely if it is right or not use the word about the asteroid resistance. In this chaos the Radicals, undecided on what position it takes in doubt, they launch a big hunger strike, without specifying why and with such requests, but it does not matter, since no newspaper reports the news, except for a short article on Molise Today . At the end
Prodi decides to use the usual trick of parliamentary confidence. The measure, thus, unable to move at a furious session during which the Senate Renato Schifani sets himself on fire to protest against the coup d' di Stato comunista. Gli altri parlamentari, appena si accorgono del gesto sconsiderato, circondano il senatore e gettano sopra di lui tutto quello che trovano: fiammiferi, bottiglie di vino, qualunque cosa possa alimentare il fuoco.

E’ finalmente tutto pronto. I tre eroi sono in un hangar in attesa di salire sull’astronave che li porterà a salvare il loro Paese.
Pronti, partenza, via. Il missile sfreccia verso lo spazio, avanza veloce fra le nuvole, supera la ionosfera, la stratosfera e altri innumerevoli composti della parola -sfera, poi perde quota e si schianta su Milano, distruggendola. Poco male, è il 15 agosto e la città è deserta: non muore nessuno. Ma la missione è fallita.
Una rapida inchiesta accerterà che i soldi effettivamente erogati per la costruzione dell’astronave erano meno di un quinto di quelli stanziati dal governo. Il resto è finito nelle tasche di chissà chi. Il risultato è che le pareti esterne del razzo erano fatte di una sottile lamiera di alluminio per la conservazione dei cibi, volgarmente detto domopack; appena un poco più resistente dello sportello di una Panda, ma comunque insufficiente per andare nello spazio. Parte subito un’inchiesta nominata dai giornalisti Spaziopoli, e come al solito nessuno si prende la briga di spiegare che polis vuol dire città e non corruzione .
D’altra parte, nel corso dei primi interrogatori emerge che i calcoli del Professors were totally unpacked and, even if to reach the asteroid, the nuclear charges would not be able to destroy it. The professor, in fact, was the worst student in his class, but for some inexplicable reason he had at age 23 from a chair professor of astrophysics.
The presence of an uncle Cardinal would be best to clarify this issue, but the arrival of the asteroid - which all too preoccupied by the scandal, had forgotten about - ending the conversation. The impact is apocalyptic, and along with Rome was completely destroyed the entire peninsula.
of the Italian people do not so no trace remains, with dismay and sorrow of the world, except the French.

Titoli di coda.

Welcome Note From Employer

New light on The crisis in Georgia


Metto le mani avanti: sono il primo a ritenere che quanto segue sia un falso. Tuttavia è mio dovere di cronista riportare il testo di un’intercettazione telefonica risalente a questa estate, in grado di fornire una nuova spiegazione alla crisi tra Russia e Georgia .

- Palazzo Chigi, buongiorno.
- Carissimo! Come stai?
- Ma chi parla?
- Sono io, Vladimir!
- Ah, ciao! Benone, e tu?
- Diciamo tra alti e bassi.
- Me lo chiedevo, sai? È da un po’ che non ti si vede più al Billionaire…
- Al Billionaire? Ma che stai dicendo?
- Not Vladimir Luxuria?
- No, Vladimir Putin! And you are not Silvio?
- No, Ignazio La Russa.
- There must have been a misunderstanding. Silvio is not there?
- No, it's in Naples. He was planning a huge crowd. I can help in any way?
- is that I have a problem and wanted some advice.
- Be ', if I may ... I
- is this damn she wants Georgia to join NATO. I do not know what to do.
- Be ', that's when I have a problem ... I usually send the soldiers.
- Soldiers? Good idea! I will follow your advice! Thank you, Ignacio!
- but I figured. If we do not help one of us ...

Fireflies Shet Music Piano Ron Pope

summer is ending


Dear my twenty-five players (no, I think that now have become twenty-six), here I am back after a deserved rest, or black-out, whatever you want.

I spent our holidays in the Maldives . Beach, sea, sun, Italian, everything was perfect. It was like being in Salento, but without the horse rolls. Among other things, I happened to be near the bungalow of Minister Frattini . A very nice person, really. We were so entered in confidence that at some point I hear that there was an international crisis in Georgia and I thought it best to let them know. But he was always at the beach all day, so I left a post-it on door. But honestly I'm not sure that someone has warned. I began to entertain some doubts when I come back I met him on the street. I had those parts of Quadraro, when I approached this blue car, rolled down the window and inside there Frattini asking me: "Excuse me, you know where the mica Ministry ?"

Whatever it is, let's recap major events this summer.

China. Great success of the Olympics . Perfect organization, less pollution than expected and has not been seen around even a Tibetan Monaco. Has anyone turned their noses up accusing the judges of being too favorable to landlords, and indeed some suspicion is, given that China is winning medals in disciplines such as the existence of questionable long jump and hurdles curling on grass. But they are only allegations.

Italy could do better, but it has taken some satisfaction. Great excitement for the 15th consecutive Olympic gold Valentina Vezzali , celebrated the result of her grandchildren in her arms with great-grandchildren. This time, the fencer to make things interesting, he tried to fight upside down, blindfolded and tied to a donkey schizophrenic back. But no: he won again.
An unexpected success, however, in the march, where he triumphed the Italian Friedriech Wissenpfappfel . "I will be very happy for you fittoria Olympic gold," said the athlete und more especially to you my happiness Krant country. "

brings us to politics. The Berlusconi government has finally solved the problem of garbage in Naples. At first I thought I would send the army to clean up everything. Then Brunetta suggested to send the state with the yellow star on the coat. In the end it is the most sensible choice: the garbage was packed and sent to Mediaset, at the express request of Maria De Filippi . You will be very useful for its new autumn program.

Intanto è proseguita la lenta agonia del Partito Democratico , ormai una cosa deforme alla deriva. Il più dispiaciuto è stato Landolfi del Pdl. “E dire che avevamo preparato un golpe per l’inverno” ha dichiarato “ma che gusto c’è senza opposizione? Abbiamo pure provato a stilare una lista di oppositori da rinchiudere nello Stadio Olimpico, ma non avremmo riempito nemmeno un’area di rigore. Che paese inutile”.

A proposito di golpe. Siamo tornati dalle vacanze e Ferrero è il nuovo segretario di Rifondazione Comunista. Una delle sue prime iniziative è stato fare una visita di cortesia alla redazione di Liberazione; the day after the newspaper you read that Ferrero has always been the secretary of the PRC since 1948 and that there is no administration in Puglia region. Sure, some had suspected something seeing that the new secretary had come to the office on board a Soviet tank in 1968. But so much does not matter: Within a couple of weeks, the official organ of the PRC has become Famiglia Cristiana

... And finally, the best joke of the summer. Commenting on the Russian invasion of Georgia, U.S. President George Dabliu Bush said: "We find this unjustified criminal invasion of a sovereign state." The fuck party in choir from Baghdad was heard up in Chile
