He is up there!

Earlier today I lamented over the fact that our wished and prayers for physical harm to come to Joe Lieberman had been, as yet, unanswered by God. I noted that it was proof that we had been praying to the wrong God. Well, thanks to the hard work of Italian scientists, we now have an idea which God it is we need to pray to. How do we know? Because Italy's long standing prayers to see Silvio Berlusconi get what's coming to him have come true. Motherfucker got decked in the face.

Silvio Berlusconi said today it was a miracle that he was not blinded by the attack in central Milan last night that left him with a broken nose, two missing teeth and a cut lip.

The Italian Prime Minister was struck in the face with a marble statuette of the Duomo cathedral by a man with a history of mental problems who had managed to penetrate his double ring of security police.

A marble statue of a cathedral. It's the little details that count.

So I say we call up Italy and ask politely which God they prayed to made this happen. Sure, I'm more of a biblical type violence person, but if our elected betters own conscience, the media, voters, or the basic human decency isn't going to cause them to act with any regard towards the country, then a divinely inspired, mentally deranged man wielding a religious building as a weapon might.

C'mon Italy, was is Baal, Gozer, Anubis, or Muslim God? I have it narrowed down to those four.

Picture of the day

Owing to the occasion of all the world leaders being in town for the United Nation's annual World Leader's Talent and Beauty Competition, Vanity Fair sent world famous photographer Platon down to the General Assembly to photograph every single leader that was there. And a fine job he did, making the world's political elite look less reptilian while also sharing an amusing anecdote about each leader as part of the audio section that accompanies the photos. Actually, I should have said 'making most of the world's political elite look less reptilian'. Yeah, want to guess who came off looking less like a dignified world leader and more like a perv? You guessed it: Silvio Berlusconi.


In Silvio's defense, they did tell him they were going to a strip club after the shoot.

Summing up the G20

Hey, that was great. Some trust fund anarchists got maced, Hu Jintao learned not to order the large fries at the O unless you're really hungry, John Oliver looks to have a good piece for the Daily Show next week, Silvio Berlusconi tried to fuck Michelle Obama, the Burgh set some sort of sarcastic protest record, a bunch of storefronts got their windows busted, the TFA's got to meet some OG's from the Hill down at county, and our world leaders solemnly swore that they'll try to do something preventative and ahead of time the next time there's a economic crisis on the horizon or something. Super. Now fuck off and let's never do this again.
