I continue to be perplexed by this question:  What more has to happen for the rest of the world to notice this Onda?  Must the government fall?  Must someone die first?  The mainstream media isn't covering it - that should perhaps not surprise, but where are the progressive blogs, etc.?  What the hell?  

Here in America we are obsessing about whether Senate Democrats punish Joe Lieberman or not.  And whether Sarah Palin helped or hurt John McCain.  And this wave isn't even known a little?  Give me a break!

Just did my new routine of running La Repubblica through the Google translator again.  Looks like today was once again a major day.  Big demos in Rome, even some events by Italian students in other countries.

This cannot continue to go on in isolation.  It needs to become known.  Wish I knew how ...
