Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Italy is in crisis! There's a public spending emergency! There is general mistrust of elected public officials!
There's no gelato at the Senate building?
Apparently, Italian senators Rocco Buttiglione and Albertina Soliani are campaigning to have Italian ice cream, "gelato," served in the cafeteria of the Senate building, claiming that it would "improve the quality of life" in the Senate.
I mean really. Don't these senators have more important issues to worry about than whether their favorite dessert is being offered in the cafeteria?

Would it be a blow-out news item if a judge wanted peanut butter cookies in the courthouse cafeteria? My co-worker would also like to see ice cream in our cafeteria at work -- does that make him a freak show?
Is the point of this that we're supposed to believe that senators don't eat, sleep, drink, or use the bathroom like "normal people"? Because if not, I guess I don't understand why this story is supposed to be noteworthy.
