If it's Ratzinger, he is SO going to saint JPII by acclamation.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Also, if it's Ratzinger, his inspiring youth includes service in the Hitlerjugend (then mandatory) and service in the Nazi army manning anti-aircraft guns.

Wait, proto-Popes generally don't do miracles, do they?
I'm pretty sure they do miracles, and it looks good on the paplication. The Italian canidates probably have a bunch of miracles and get surly with some non-Italian who gets nominated with only a couple of card-tricks under their belt.

We had big traffic snarl-ups in Chicago this morning because of the image of the Virgin Mary that apparently is masquerading as water damage on an underpass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep wondering if there will be a schism between the US Catholics and Rome. And I wonder if Ratzinger is in, if that would precipitate it.

Now they're clapping and chanting "Habemus Papam!"
I'm waiting for the Papal cabbage patch.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Where is that, brenda?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
David Bowie in "Labyrinth". About as far from Inquisitor-in-Waiting Delay as you can get. Though I'm imagining a Delay vs. Goblin King smackdown.
The arousal and revulsion swimming through my brain silumtaneously is about to make me pass out.
