I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

McKinley did have a mountain named after him (but haven't we been calling the mountain Denali for a long time?)

(Interior) Alaskans are pretty damn adamant about calling Denali Denali, but everything official about the mountain calls it(him) Mount McKinley. The park is Denali Park, though.

Ratzinger, huh? Well, fuck.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

He gets to choose. I think with nuns, they're named by the abbess when they enter the convent.

Bear in mind, all my info comes from reading In This House of Brede, and while I trust its accuracy, it's set in the 50's and 60's and might be outdated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

New Pope watch and post. It's the only way I'd get the news this fast.

That reminds me, while watching 24 last night, or more precisely while watching the preview for next week's 24, DH and I cheered when David Palmer showed up on screen. Made me all nostalgic for Giles' return...

If I only had a brain...

I wonder if he'll go back to wearing the papal tiara?

I was sure it was going to be an Italian. So, the head of what used to be the Inquisition. Interesting.

I have very little Italian, but I think he basically asked for the people's prayers. Can't argue with that.

That's like yesterday in Vatican time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, we call him Benedict now? That's a lame Pope name.
