ONCE UPON A TIME

there was a little judge, doing his work diligently.

There was also a very rich man, controlling the Press and the Television, and the Parliament

The little judge was unlucky enough to be called upon to judge a civil case against the main company of the rich man. He did his own work, studied recent judgments where it had been found that the company of the rich man had bribed judges and lawyers, listened to both parties and condemned the rich man’s company to pay 750 million € of damages.

The rich man threatened the little judge stating that soon people will learn “crusty stories” about the judge. And so it happened.

The main TV channel of the rich man had a scoop on the judge to show that he had a “funny” behavior: they had followed him and recorded him walking back and forth in front of his barber shop ! He was waiting for his appointment and, imagine what, smoking a cigarette (forbidden in the barber shop).

Then, when he left the barber shop, he walked rapidly, imagine imagine, and did stop only twice: once at a traffic light and once to…switch a cigarette on. If he had been normal, of course, he would have looked at shop windows, gone to a coffee shop, looked at girls asses. Nothing !

Finally, supreme crime, he was recorded in a park, reading his newspaper, wearing white shoes and light blue socks.

How could such a crazy man dare judging the richest man in the country, asked the latter’s TV channel ?

Regrettably, this is not a fairy tale. It happened last week. The country is Italy, the rich man is Berlusconi, and he is the Prime Minister.The judge is Mesiano. And the Italians lost a little more freedom, just last week. Putin must be proud of his student.

Thus, as of tomorrow, following the example of the opposition party leader, I will be wearing light blue sock….
