And, while we’re on the subject of the disappearance of facts:
I haven’t got any links to British news outlets this time, as no one’s yet written about it.
Actress and comedian Sabina Guzzanti – who had already been sued repeatedly by Mr B. for allegedly spreading “lies and insinuations” about him and his government – took the stage during last Tuesday’s anti-Mr B. political demonstration in Rome, and waxed *very* polemical against Mr B. and the Pope.
As of today, her website is down, and has been down for approx. 48 hours. It was up briefly yesterday, and Guzzanti was able to post a brief statement saying she had been “hacked”.
By whom, nobody knows.
Then she was “hacked” again. Her brother Corrado’s website (he is also an actor, director and comedian, and shares his sister’s views on politics) is “closed” as well.
Their father, Paolo Guzzanti, is a senator with Mr B.’s party (yep!), and his site is up and running. While of course disagreeing with the gist of his daughter’s pronouncements, he has expressed solidarity with her, stating that “Sabina’s blog is under attack and has been silenced”.
I shall now employ the word “censorship”. I might even go so far as to use the word “regime”. Now, should I stop posting here, you’ll know I’ve been (a) arrested, or (b) “hacked” myself. If they understand English, that is. Reckon I’m safe, for the time being.

I wouldn’t feel so sure. Someone was somehow able to read Bush Press-kit and tell Mr. B. about it, apparently.
And Mr. B. was always fascinated by foreign languages. Do you remember Mister B.’s three “Es” ? English, Enterprise, Informatics (OK, it doesn’t work in English, but I guess you’ve got the meaning).
However, it would indeed be a pity if they hack you. Nice, nice blog. I’m particularly fond of blogs in English written by Italians, with “politics” and “berlusconi” in large lettering on the cloud tag
alas, what else is there to blog about these days?
Fair point about the G8 press kit. But you might want to add that – however fascinated he may be by foreign languages – Mr B. has never actually managed to learn basic English. Nor, I would suppose, is he especially proficient in computer science. Still, he’s got people to do the dirty work for him, so I’m aware I’m playing with fire here. Will you bring me oranges when I’m in jail?
Right, I still remember when he confessed his ignorance about the net. But then he added “I use computers sometime, but mostly that’s done by my collaborators”.
Sorry, oranges are not really a speciality around here. But if you like French or Swiss cheese, then OK.
If they let me cross the border, it is
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
