Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The replica of the cathedral, famous for its gothic spires, was initially said to be made of metal but later reports suggested it was plaster.

MadisonMan said...: I'm sorry it happened, but it demonstrates why there should be a separation of Church and State.

Really, though, the more I read about Berlusconi, the less there is to like about him.; 12/14/09, 10:18 AM

Unknown said...: Not surprisingly, the Lefties here think it's too too funny. After all, Berlusconi was one of Dubya's right hand men.

If Ignorance is any indication, we can be fairly sure they wish the same thing happened to Dubya.

Ah, the compassion and empathy of the Left.

The attacker is said to be mentally unstable .. so he was prescribed a flying buttress.

If we go halves on a metal replica of St. Peter's Basilica we could at least make a dent.; 12/14/09, 12:15 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Yes but if we go metal then we would be in violation of the law from the time of Moses.
