Silvio Berlusconi Will Probably Not Have To Go To Court

Lucky Silvio!

The Italian Senate has passed a bill that will dramatically curtail the length of trials in that country. The bill is retroactive, so it will have the COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL effect of ending two major fraud and corruption cases against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The bill now moves to the Chamber of Deputies, where it is expected to pass easily. E finito!
