Does he have his face like his ass?

I don’t know how it says in English when the interior minister is aware of lying.

He accuses the others of not working, accuses them of being glued to the seats or accuses them of not respecting the law (but he is the first to use quibbles to escape the trial)... he even joked about the tan of parliamentarians while he is very tanned!

In Italian there are many expressions to describe this situation (with various degrees of vulgarity): for example "the ox who says horned to the donkey", or "he has the face of bronze".

Tomorrow I believe we will be able to witness another undertaking by the interior minister: mirror climbing!

I do not know if this expression in English gives the idea of a minister who will have to be very creative to be able to keep his place in government.

He will perhaps have to have the powers of the Spiderman (besides the face like the ass).

Short memory and long memory

I have a controversial relationship with the detractors of the State of Israel. I read a lot of criticisms of so-called anti-Zionists. I agree with almost every criticism of the Israeli government, but I can not stand it when this alleged anti-Zionism simply becomes anti-Semitism. I can not stand the anti-Semitism of the Arabs, but also of the Palestinians. You can have all the reasons in the world, but I will never prove the slightest sympathy if at the base of your reasoning, at the base of your claims there is racism, pure and simple, even if masked. I mean: I understand perfectly the Arab and Palestinian hostility in particular, but I do not feel empathy. My reasoning is simple: if I had been a Jew (a brave and determined Jew) at the end of the Second World War I would have done anything to be able to create a Jewish state. If I had been brave and determined I would have trafficked weapons and false documents and brought as many Jewish survivors to Palestine. So I feel admiratio

Shit afternoon

We got up and it was raining outside, not really, but enough not to make us want to go out for a run. We lazed a little (but I would have had the opportunity to work), then we went out to see the fair: there was the usual merchandise and we only bought a printed scarf with a painting by Van Gogh and another with a print of Picasso's painting. We had lunch early because we had to accompany our daughter to the station. It usually takes an hour, so we decided to go out an hour ahead of schedule, to be sure. Everything went smoothly up to Ponte Milvio... the police and the local police prevented the transit of all the cars on the lungotevere, towards the center. The traffic has become very dense and we have continued in the obligatory direction at a crawl. We were early and we did not worry too much. After several minutes we had come a very short way, we were bottled in traffic a long way from the station and the subway stops. And I had to pee. After another time we had come a very

I, me & my Garmin

Paraphrasing the title of the film by Jim Carrey I could also have articulated this short text “I, me and Amazon” or “I, me and Black Friday”. But let's go in order. A few months ago, my Garmin 310XT started to show signs of insanity: it did not record some races, or it canceled data instead of downloading them. It had become really slow to connect to satellites and, it must be said, it is really boring to wait (under the sun or cold) that the GPS is operational. So a few months ago I started to follow the price trends of GPS-stopwatches with camelcamelcamel. After a long time I have seen that some models have started to have variations on the downside, but these variations were still little thing and now the Black Friday was approaching ... In the meantime something really bad happened. I ran the half marathon of Lake Vico. It was a bad day and it rained for all 21 km. It always rained, but there were also many puddles and wind. The race was very tiring, but getting to the
