No self-respecting NGO and campaign group would be seen these days without a Twitter account to spread the word (Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and WWF have over 200,000 followers between them for example).

I think MIA Paper Planes song is really nice
Revelling in victory, President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression, a package that aims to protect consumers and ensure economic stability from Main Street to Wall Street.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in a top level intellectual political speech in Milan at the Med Forum, affirmed ” I am not a playboy anymore . I am rather a play old” The guy is unbelievable!
Unfortunately he did not stop there. Mr Berlusconi mentioned as well that he is the inventor of the “cou-cou policy”. The Italian prime minister’s odd choice of words was a reference to an incident two years ago when, at a summit in Trieste, he hid behind a lamp post before springing out in front of Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel, with the words “cou-cou” (Italian for “peek-a-boo”).
After recovering from the surprise, Mrs Merkel spread her arms in welcome and said: “Oh, Silvio!”

Silvio Berlusconi e’ stato colpito al volto da un pugno. Il premier visibilmente sanguinante si e’ accasciato per terra ed e’ stato immediatamente caricato in auto. Il responsabile del gesto, un uomo, e’ stato fermato. E’ stato portato in questura. In un primo momento si era diffusa la voce che avesse colpito il premier con una riproduzione del Duomo.
