Hell must have frozen over.  In the EU zone elections, with all the wacky far right and anti-EU parties voted into power all over Europe, Italy came out as looking like the moderate.  Renzi, a middle-of-the-road, unassuming, seemly sensible guy, was elected as the new PM.  The crazy ex-comedian protest vote came in second place with Berlusconi, (alias cradle robbing, whore mongering, voter buying, tax evading, should be in prison), a distant third.  Things are looking up!  xxoo me
