Today's paper reported from the Treviso Gazzette that a middle school kid was expelled from running for Mayor of Student Council. Why? He was offering telefonino recharges & treats in exchange for votes!!! Looks like he'll have a bright career.Irreverent Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104487411073849736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-89073739744822178732007-11-28T01:19:00.000+01:002007-11-28T01:19:00.000+01:00Allow me to give you a few talking points...
