Today is a good day.
Today is the day that the Right has been butt-spanked out of power in the cities of Milan, Napoli, Trieste, Cagliari and Novara.
In fact, today is the day when the Left has won in every single mayoral election on schedule, with the exception of my poor father's Varese.
Today in Napoli, the Left's candidate, an anti-camorra judge, has collected 65.4% of the vote.
Sixty-five point four percent.
Today in Milan, the Left got more than 55% of the votes and is back in power after an 18 year long hiatus.
This with a candidate that the Left didn't even want to support in the first place, only to grudgingly do so after he had won the primaries.
A candidate whose election campaign's budget amounted to a fraction of that afforded to his opponent.
And if you've bothered reading me so far, you might want to hear that the opponent in question is named Letizia Moratti. The sister-in-law.

Berlusca has told the Milanese that they'd better start praying after giving the city to the Left.
Or as he put it during the most classy campaign ever conducted by any party, including his : to the Red Brigades, the islamics and the gypsies (he even coined the term "zingaropoli" for the occasion).
What he fails to understand is that the Milanese's prayers have already been answered.

Berlusconi better get a fiddle for when Milano burns.
Of course I figured you were name shopping for the blessed event, but remember that "Anna Sofia" has already been taken 
However his ideas for a boy's name so far are lacking to say the least....Iacopo, Alvise, Aldo, Milo, Walter, Amos, Ermes, Dante, Vanni, Moris, Fiore....wtf???
So I might have to take this into my own hands
Fabrizio is the name of one of my gobbi cousins in Turin, though we call him Fabri.
A humble, hard-working, understating man. Your stereotypical Piedmontese really, and a season ticket-holder for 25 years or so. There are pictures of him with every single gobbo figure since. From Scirea to Moggi, quite a span eh. Some of him standing behind Vialli or Dal Pero even appeared on Tuttosport. I've scanned and published the one with Moggi on my Facebook, just in case he decides to destroy it (Fabrizio now sees Moggi as a gangster who belongs to prison, dunno where he got that idea from)
He is also an electrician, and Im not sure he will be able to afford the season ticket in the new Juve McStadium. I tried to get this point across in the new stadium thread, but the Moggi-nostalgic bimbiminkia's didn't seem impressed.
All this to say that from my point of view you would have had a good precedent with the name Fabrizio.

Oh no you didn't [waging finger]! Don't you play victim here Signore Tatti. You ball talked us and insulted our new stadium. Ball talking I can handle, everyone does it. But do not start pooping on our stadium or I'll be forced to take a cue from Eminem and shit in a Jack-o-lantern and smash it on your porch.
Anyway, if your baby is a boy and is to have an Italian name, then Fabrizio Luigi Chang Ming Tatti gets my 21,000 votes (proxy to Lucciano Moggi).

I haven't insulted the new stadium. I may have jumped into the thread "à la Gattuso" of old, true, but all the arguments I've presented are valid, and yet to be refuted.
Namely :
- the stadium was designed to be a cashcow, i.e. small enough for people to fight for tickets and be willing to pay a disproportionately high price for them. Cackface Giraudo himself, unsurprisingly, initially wanted an even smaller stadium (35 000). It is merely aping the "English model". I.e. it's an all-seater stadium, with a steward under every seat for maximum security and practicality wahey, cameras in every angle for perfect rendering on the small screen whohooo. All this being sold under the guise of the "designed for you and your family" argument, of course. The irony is that in spite of this you'll be lucky if it generates half the revenues of a Super Mac Emirates or an Old Trafford (which Manure didn't even need to build)
- That one of the reasons given for building a smaller stadium for a team like Juventus is that the Turinese won't fill a bigger one because they're cold and uninterested is an insult to the good people of Turin and to our collective intelligence. Incidentally, I suggest having a look at the Delle Alpi's attendance numbers in the first 5-10 years of its existence, despite the pathetic visual. The good old Delle Alpi that btw cost the Italian taxpayer 180 billion lire, 120 more than the 60 initially planned, courtesy of FIAT man Luca Mignottaro di Montedicoca. The same Delle Alpi that was then sold to you by the municipality of Turin for a bag of peanuts so you could build the McArena on it. A standard, century-old procedure in the FIAT world, but I'll stop there coz I would indeed ball-talk you for hours.
- I can't believe Sergio tried to compare your stadium with SAN SIRO by telling me that at least it generates more money. I haven't been to San Siro in 4 years. The Champions League semifinal against Man yoo. In the curva, at the balcony. 3-0. Should I not go there for another 20 years, I'll still remember that night like it was last Wednesday. The guy who "I've never seen your face who the fuck are you go stand over there you're pissing me off!". The one who "he's with L., G. offered him his ticket so go fuck your mother!". The one who "close ranks for fuck sake there's 20.000 of us here!". The one who "You sing like a fockin fag! Go stand at the back!". The one who no idea how he hasn't fallen from the ring yet, scooter-style, with all the swinging on the handrail. The one who was 5 feet and a potato and kept climbing on my shoulders to see the action under our goal. The one who after Gilardino finished the mancs caught the 5-footer and threw him 4 meters into the air (me). The one with blood-injected eyes who was running up and down grabbing random heads by the ears while shouting "AAAAAHHHH AAAAAHHHHHHH AAAAAAHHHHH" in their face, etc. Not one gobbo can experience something like that in your new stadium, even if you were to beat Barcelona 7-0.
- I even provided a solution that seems to control the damage : the Bundesliga, where they've mostly just renewed the mostly public stadia (instead of building obsolete monsters like for Italia 90) and managed to keep the prices affordable AND the curve pretty much intact.
