Turn to page 16 of The Guardian today and you might just find yourself smiling.
Admittedly their front page leads with "Defector who triggered war on Iraq admits: 'I lied about WMD'", a worthy front page.
But you have to go 16 pages in to discover "Berlusconi sent for trial over paying for sex with teenager"
They are actually putting Silvio Berlusconi, who has been in power in Italy for what feels like forever, on trial.
Berlusconi oftens gets himself into hot water where women and prostitutes are concerned, but it is normally brushed off as a case of an important man being a bit naughty - good for a joke but nothing is really going to be done about it.
This time they're doing something.
The case will be presided over by three female judges, which gives me confidence that it is being taken seriously.
Also, this might finally spell the end of the man who seemed undefeatable.
I guess anything is possible if you wait long enough.
