“Moral crusade: Public activity undertaken by middle-aged men who are cheating on their wives or diddling little boys. Moral crusades are particularly popular among those seeking power for their own personal pleasure, politicians who can't think of anything useful to do with their mandates, and religious professionals suffering from a personal inability to communicate with their god.” ThinkingMenLittlesSufferingReligiousPleasureMoralBoysWifeMiddlePoliticianActivitySeekingCommunicateCheatingInabilityLittle BoysMandatesMiddle AgedCrusadesInability To Communicate Author:John Ralston Saul

“There you see how absurd the reactions of the so-called markets are. For a long time, Italy was run by one of the most unprofessional politicians anywhere. But there wasn't much pressure in terms of speculation. Now, in Mario Monti, Italy has the kind of leader you usually only get in Hollywood movies, a distinguished professor who won't even accept a cook at his residence, the Palazzo Chigi. Instead Monti's wife cooks their pasta herself - and this is the man the markets don't trust.” MenKindLongRunningTermLeaderAcceptingWifeHe ManPoliticianLong TimeHollywoodPressureReactionsAbsurdCooksProfessorsSpeculationDistinguishedDon't TrustPastaResidenceHollywood MoviesMario Author:Martin Schulz
