Oh, and I quite agree. Makes me wonder what some of those out West were smoking when they elected the man, while at the same time makes me want to avoid Californication at all costs.

I still have a bitter taste in my mouth for how the Terminator actually got into office in the first place.
Not that I was a big fan of former Gov. Gray Davis -- the guy micromanaged everything to the point where he was a complete incompetent incapable of doing anything, since he had to do it all himself. But he was re-elected by a fair election.
Immediately after his re-election, one of the millionaire election losers decided to fund a grassroots campaign to put enough signatures on the ballot to remove Davis... long before anything would later come out about the state's budget crisis given the employment implosion that recession year.
So California voters went to the polls for a recall election. Basically, the "morning after pill" for the hundreds of millions of dollars they already just spent on a fair election where they voted the guy back in office (duh! Big mistake #1). So whom do they vote for? Some Hollywood fantasy actor to save them from the evils of -- heaven forbid -- having to tighten your belt a little when economic times get tough.
Californians, like so many other parts of the country -- or world -- where the voting public act more like consumers than citizens, are apparently too infantile to recognize that tough times require sacrifice. And they are too immature to be asked to sacrifice. So they vote for the guy with the hope that they won't have to sacrifice. He repeals an unpopular but passed vehicle registration fee hike, adding billions of dollars of debt to a state already billions in the red. But hey -- why not bribe us with our own money? Big mistake #2.
So then reality hits. Maybe this Schwartzenegger cannot gun down all the outstanding debts. Schools close, fire departments slim down, etc., etc. Guess what? You delay sacrifice, you often only make it worse... it doesn't necessarily go away. So now Californians are disillusioned that they didn't get what they bargained for with their recall votes. Wahhhh. Big mistake #3.
Some days I just want to whack people upside the head and explain to him that if they had half a voter's brain, they too should have seen this coming a long time ago.

Between Milan and Juve, there is one major difference this season that wasnt so notorious last year: defensive efectivity.
Their defensive line trembles easily, and i it seems that Carletto hasnt the slightest idea how to arrange that....they better shop for a good reinforce at the back line in december window if they want to stay in the run.
Berluscas, in a very subtle manner, drew a deadline to Carletto :We still have champions league"...meaning that Ancelotti, (who has two years in a row without wining nothing) needs to win it if he want to continue at his job.
People doesnt change...he is very cleaver coach, good tactician but he has the same flaws that make Juve lost twice the scudetto in the last days of the season:softness of character. And sometimes he imprints that in the team....

It's all about thinking ahead, being a few steps ahead of the game. Unfortunately there are those who do not think ahead at all, and prefer what looks good or is in style at the time. Reminds me of people who vote for incumbant Presidents just because we are in a "time of war" while there are other, perhaps more important issues at hand.
And this also has much to do with people not knowing what on earth they're voting for...but electing a movie star really is the epitome of folly.
key word being, killed. He's reformed, and no one has denied that. If they execute him, they're telling people that no matter how much you'll reform, we're still gonna kill ya'. And on a side note; for those that are christian, or what ever, if God can forgive you for your sins, then who the heck are you that you can't?
Agreed. The problems for Milan are sitting right there asking to be fixed, however Ancelotti hasn't got the slightest clue how to sure up the defense during set pieces. Then you also have to look at Milan's reluctance to by some younger defenders...you simply cannot rely on Stam, Maldini, and Costacurta forever. That is perhaps the biggest mistake of the season to be honest..
