...million euros a day. That's the amount of money Alitalia, Italy's national airline, is now hemorrhaging. That nice (or, rather, nasty) round figure succinctly quantifies just how dire the carrier's crisis has become. Alitalia's troubles are nothing new, of course, as the government-controlled company tallied some three billion euros in net losses between 1999-2006, becoming a running joke among industry insiders and a mounting burden on Italian taxpayers.

In the wars his President pals waged, he stood right by their side, lending his prestige to their policies. He has helped lead the nation toward theocracy and abolishment of the constitutional separation of church and state. Perhaps more dangerous than any other encouragement of hubris, Graham has provided a model for President George W. Bush's belief that God directs his every move...
