Thanks for the bump

"We should be conscious of the superiority of our civilization, which consists of a value system that has given people widespread prosperity ... and guarantees respect for human rights and religion," Berlusconi told a group of journalists...

Amen.
The best way to end war and to ensure peace is to kill the enemy.

Thank you. Good post.

"I can hardly believe Mr. Berlusconi made such remarks," wailed Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt...

What 'a you expect from a Belgian for cryin' out loud. They haven't won a round since they were busy committing genocide in the Congo over a century ago.

Well I could have saluted Italian women (some of the world's loveliest), or Italian cars (some of the world's fastest) or Italian art(some of the world's finest) but alas I just went for the lowest common denominator. Italian food from all parts is quite wonderful..(unlike Scotland for instance). In any fish and broth style dish except Gumbo type stuff, the fish should be added lastly and one should use a fish stock to season the dish during the main simmering session . This goes for Paella, Zuppa de Mariscos, Bouillabaise etc.

In my modest culinary opinion.

Regards and how about a Monica Belluci bump this go around!!!!

Thanks for the heads up, Saber. I wonder about the same thing you do: If the people are so loving and tolerant, why do they put up with the mutilation of their women, the Vice and Virtue beatings, and more?

Yeah definitely the fish is slipped in last. Into the simmering soup. My favorite fish soup is the thin milky one at No Name Restarant in Boston. Eat it while real hot and add some black pepper to it. I despise creamy soups and chowders.

I'm hungry now. Diet coke and a fat cigar make for a lousy breakfast.

If one goes to the London museum and sees the Babylonian,Sumerian,Hittite and other displays prior to a certain Prophet 3000-4000 odd years ago the Middle East and Egypt had advanced civilizations whilst our ancestors were painting themselves blue and playing with big rocks.The genetics are there for much,much better.

Wez poprawke na 'Wyborcza". Adas M. z bojownika o wolnosc zrobil sie bojownikiem o socjalizm. Fallaci to znane nazwisko jeszcze z czasow "zimnej wojny". Wszelkie plotki zaczynaly sie od tej reporterki. Obserwujac wsciekla nagonke wszelkich lewicowych pism na swiecie na Berlusconi jestem raczej sklonny wierzyc w jego pozniejsze wyjasnienia (publikowane zreszta przez ta sama "Corriere della Sera). Przeszukalem cala "Wyborcza" on line i nie ma sladu po tym artykule, co jest tez dosc podejrzane.

Scan would be nice. if you have time, of course. I would love to have it. Thanks in advance.

Mieszkam w okolicach Waszyngtonu.

Polish doesn't belong to the easiest languages and your sixth language is very impressive. Congrats!

Contemporary U.S. and European cultures have their share of problems (think of the recent Clintonian past), but, without getting overly Manichaean in the comparison, Berlusconi was right. Anyone want their hand or head chopped off by an Islamic saber? How about women completely covered with pup tents? Crazy guys shooting machine guns in the air on public streets? And an oily towel-head in a mountain cave listening to Allah telling him to kill women and children? Any gal here want to apply for a job in a Middle Eastern harem? We need to hear from moral relativists, multiculturalists, and anti-Christian bashers...Who among American "liberals" would like to spend the rest of their lives in Iraq, Libya, the hills of Afghanistan or Lebanon?... Let them promote their half-baked secularist socialism there...
