Among other reasons, I simply cannot stand anymore to live in a country that has elected, with overwhelming majority, Silvio Berlusconi as Prime Minister. His latest, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/afp\/article\/ALeqM5haVTZFb3ymzRCX6PnNEcXlUW5mow\" target=\"_blank\">public controversy with his wife<\/a> &#8211; over his unabashed passion for very young women &#8211; falls perfectly within his pimpy, little Cesar style. This isn&#8217;t a simple case of Bushism, I&#8217;m not surprised italians elected him and I will not be when they will elect him again and again: he is the Prime Minister most italians chose, elected and deserve. I&#8217;m just not italian enough to appreciate a guy for which the rules, any rule (including laws), is an obstacle to be removed. I have good reasons to believe most italians truly appreciate his style and approve of his conduct. I feel just like a transexual now: someone born in a nationality he doesn&#8217;t recognize as his own. But I&#8217;ll be dutch very soon, and so Berlusconi will be just another international clown, from a country that produces the best food in the world &#8211; and unfortunately very little else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people here in the US asked me why I&#8217;m permanently leaving Italy.
