To my fellow Americans — especially on the East Coast, and super especially, Italians on the East Coast (though this suggests you might want to re-think that) — Happy Columbus Day.
To my fellow North Americans my near and dear Canadian friends, Happy Thanksgiving.
Alas, without access to Canuckian cable, we in The D can no longer watch the traditional holiday CFL doubleheader games.
So, back to work, eh?

The Today Show’s opening this morning teased a piece about “the topless model hosting Michelle Obama around Italy,” as if the two are BFFs. And then, at 7:49 — after holding the perverted voyeuristic interested audience for all four quarter-hours — they finally got around to the piece.
The host for the current G8 summit is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who, for a number of reasons ranging from pathetic to entertaining, is in the midst of a divorce. So, he needed a hostess for all the wives, or as our U.K. friends call them, WAGs, and picked former Italian showgirl Mara Carfagna, who he appointed to be the country’s equal opportunities minister, to show the WAGs around.
The young lady apparently has modeled in various states of undress. Whoop-de-doo. Others in the political discourse, whether intentional or accidental, have done the same. As long as she does her job well, y’know?
But, ooooh, the word “topless” on morning television. How racy.
