Happy birthday Silvio

Today is Silvio Berlusconi's 75th birthday.

One of Silvio's less than endearing habits is to slip into a bill before parliament some clause designed to help him personally. I am surprised none of his opponents has tried to recommend quietly a 'retirement at 75' clause for senior public figures.

No one wants an election right now (except for the electorate, of course), so the old boy will struggle on for a bit more.
