Microsoft is going to migrate Windows Live Spaces to WordPress.com platform so I decided to migrate from Blogger.com to WordPress.com following this migration guide.

I’m really impressed how powerful is the new blogging platform.

Also, it’s integrated with Live.com and Facebook.com

Berlusconi – Wild Party

by

An intriguing alliance: American diplomats in Rome reported in 2009 on what their Italian contacts described as an extraordinarily close relationship between Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian prime minister, and Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister and business magnate, including “lavish gifts,” lucrative energy contracts and a “shadowy” Russian-speaking Italian go-between. They wrote that Mr. Berlusconi “appears increasingly to be the mouthpiece of Putin” in Europe. The diplomats also noted that while Mr. Putin enjoys supremacy over all other public figures in Russia, he is undermined by an unmanageable bureaucracy that often ignores his edicts.
