Clowns in Italy?

    Yes, Beppo, the professional clown/comic has carried the election for premier to a future run off.
Now Italian politics have been the subject of much discussion of late, dur in part to the ongoing concern of its fiscal condition(the country).
    Mario Monti, the previous premier, ran a distant 4th to Bersani, Berlusconi, and Beppo- the 3 B's!
Now, the rules in the Constitution require certain accommodations as a result.  The rules will be changed, of course.  Then, a new election will be held in May.  It seems the Italians want change, but finding a method that a majority can swallow, not so easy.
     I wonder how Mr.  Mariani, owner of downtown Tahoma, feels about the election outcome?  I will have to poll his opinions.
    More later.
