Furthermore, he repeatedly tried to postpone the elections so that the par condicio law, which gives every candidate equal access to media coverage, did not come into effect. Of course, Berlusconi also provides comic relief. Several years ago, George W. Bush was criticized for suggesting that God wanted him to be President. But, yet again, Italian politics takes this to the next level. For Berlusconi, a wish from God is insufficient: after equating himself to Napoleon Bonaparte, he went on to say he was like...

Without Procacci's investment...
...hint at this dilemma when they ask nostalgically, “Can It Be All So Simple”, eventually breaking down “fly clichés” and easy street/smart dichotomies in favor of an epic, all-American mythos that draws on everything from pulp comic books and cheap kung-fu movies. Any static visual display of artifacts and commentary will be hard-pressed to uncover the symbolic web of even one Wu-Tang album, let alone the genre as a whole.
