Better to be like Alex than gay?

Berlusconi says yes.

It's the Dailyfail but it gave me a chuckle.
Scandal-hit Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi raised eyebrows when he told an audience: 'It’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than be gay.'

Berlusconi, 74, spoke out after it emerged that belly dancer Karima Keyek, 18, had spent the evening at his house when she was just 17 and was given cash, a diamond necklace and a car by him.

However she has insisted that no sex took place between them and that the perma-tanned media tycoon turned politician was 'like a father' to her the whole evening.

[..]

Speaking at a motorcycle exhibition in Milan today, Berlusconi said: 'I work extremely hard and if every now and then I look at the face of a beautiful girl then it’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than gay.'

heh, read the title and was like, "wtf is this gonna be??"

berlusconi is a jackass. he dissed finnish food once, so the main pizza chain now have a "berlusconi pizza" which has a few kinds of random finnish-liked things in it. it has smoked moose meat in it. sucka mc.
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all

of his beloved arises? doesn't his secret insight
into her pure features come from the pure constellations?"

Dead right. It must be like having Rupert Murdoch be your Prime Minister.
