Another Monday, another thrilling report from Cokie Roberts on all the excitement going on at the Vatican to see who gets to wear the white dress and red shoes on Easter Sunday. I have no idea why anybody cares about this shit. Kookie says it’s like the Olympics, where we Americans are “pulling” for the American Cardinals.
Um, no. I’m at least marginally interested in the Olympics, but really don’t care who gets picked to be pope. I guess if they pick a black guy, that would be kind of interesting. Or at least different. Or maybe an unabashed member of NAMBLA or something.
I, of course, don’t have a vote. But if I did, I’d vote for Cardinal Glick.
I went out last night for a little honky-tonking :alc: and due to the time change I woke up just in time to hear the Cokester. I was laughing that she was all popey after my post last week.
If they choose an American pope, what would they call him? The Italian popes are called Il Papa.
:priest: :pope:
Matthew Fox (former preiest of thirty some years and now caller-out-of-hypocrisy) on The Young Turks suggested the only thing that could save the church would be to make the Dalai Lama the new pope :pope: :yinyang:
