The pope with the most...

I'm not Catholic, nor do I agree with a lot of what he says, but I have to admit, I like this pope. I mean, you have to be pretty hard-core to forgive the guy who tried to kill you (perhaps at the behest of the KGB, as a recent report suggested). And the pope has been very consistent with his idea of a "culture of life", unlike some people I know of (Texas' executioner... ahem). Though I don't agree with all of his interpretations, at least he has a point he believes in.

In a related story, I was watching the AP news ticker last night and some strange things came across. Conflicting stories about the Pope were driving the newsroom crazy. Here's a sampling:

"Italian news agency reports the Pope is in a coma."

"Italian news agency reports Pope is dancing a jig."

"Vatican denies 'jig' alert."

"Spanish newspaper reporting Pope has made it to the Final Four."

Weird, huh? And here's something to think about as I close... Imagine being as sick as the Pope is, and having hundreds of thousands of people outside your window waiting for you. And the whole world talking about your urinary tract infection. Lame.
