Politician 'Cursed' for Orangutan Remark
Roberto Calderoli, who is a Senator in the Italian parliament, apparently said something last year that has gotten him into a whole lot of trouble. It seems the Senator mentioned that the new Italian Integration Minister, Cecile Kyenge, who is Italy's first black minister by the way, reminded him of an orangutan.

I assume that Ms.Kyenge didn't appreciate being compared to a species of the great ape family and she apparently mentioned this to her daddy, Clement Kikoko Kyenge, who is a minister of the religious kind residing in the African Congo.

At his next prayer meeting, the right reverend Preacher Kyenge said a prayer in which he asked God to free Mr. Calderoli from his most evil thoughts. Then, Preacher Kyenge placed a nice photo of Mr. Calderoli in front of an altar that was dedicated to all of the village ancestors.

It seems, all of a sudden, Senator Calderoli begun having all sorts of strange things happen to him. According to the Senator, over the past year of so he had a bunch of misfortunes that included some six hospital operations, a couple of broken fingers, two vertebrae broken and his mother died, all he says are proof that Mr. Kyenge placed a curse on him.

Capping off his unusual year of bad luck, Mr Calderoli tweeted a photo of himself this month holding a rather large six foot snake which he said that he'd found and subsequently killed at his home. He decided to apologize to Ms. Kyenge, but apparently it didn't do any good.

Some friends of Mr. Calderoli also gave him a "lucky" charm shaped like a red chili pepper. It was supposed to ward off evil spirits, but apparently it mysteriously snapped in half the next day. A mystic, he says, "saw a tremendous force active around me."

Meanwhile, Preacher Kyenge has denied that any curse was placed on Mr. Calderoli. He says, "We are Christians like him," and that he has been forgiven in their prayers.

Yeah, right.

The Preacher says that if Mr. Calderoli was actually sincere in his apology to his daughter, the case is closed. However, he says, if Mr. Calderoli hadn't been so contrite, then the ancestors might have become a little nervous.

Ms. Kyenge, who's been living in Italy for over 30 years, has dismissed any talk of curses. She says, "I ask what religion Mr. Calderoli practises?" She says she is Catholic and doesn't believe such practises and rites, and that they are irreligious.

Senator Calderoli is now facing prosecution for his remarks. Perhaps he owes Ms. Kyenge a more sincere apology?
