In Italy.

Theocons!

Oh, sorry.

Anyway, this is a piece via the BBC. Interesting notes about life issues and religion being used on all sides. And then there’s this:

When you arrive at Rome’s Termini Station you are greeted by vast election posters of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi beaming down at you from revolving pillars all over the station.

In his flamboyant way, he has promised to abstain from sex until after the general election, which takes place on 9 and 10 April.

I am trying to translate that into an American context, but I just…can’t.
