Only in Italy...

While I was in Italy, The Washington Post printed this little ditty. I caught it when I got back and laughed my butt off. Only if you've been to Italy as a tourist will you know what this means!

Spotted . . . on Sunday by our colleague Tom Ricks, taking the shortest way home from Iraq -- stopping in Rome. In the city's Trastevere neighborhood, Ricks saw a restaurant with a sign posted in English on a tripod by its front door:

WE SAY NO TO THE WAR
AND NO TO THE MENU TURISTICO.

Only in Italy would those two things be considered moral equivalents.
