Happy St. Patty's Day
Have any of you heard about Benedict's latest statement about condoms not preventing AIDS? Yes, indeed, abstinence is the only answer. Just ask Bristol Palin how that worked for her.
Last night Scott asked me if I wanted to go see the Pope speak while we're in Rome. If John Paul II was still alive, then yes, I'd go in a heartbeat. But Benedict? Hell no. I'm looking forward to seeing the art and history of the Vatican, but we're religious mutts (Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish). Given Benedict's ability to turn a blind eye (I realize JPII was not progressive on all terms) and do little in the ameliorating suffering for others, I'll pass on him. I hear he likes, cats, though. Score 1, too bad he's in the hole for about 100 other things, including this.
Ah, but this post is about St. Patty's Day, right? :-) I have two finals tomorrow, so there will be no green PBR in my future tonight (not that there was going to be anyway) but maybe I'll drink some red wine. Or two cups of coffee and pretend one of them has whiskey in it. Sláinte!

CARA AT THE POPE???
PSSSHHH-SHUUNK (sound of coffee forcefully being ejected through nostrils)
one of the funniest fuckin' mental images i've had in a long, long time.
"Hey, Benedict, eat this!"
Yeah, the Swiss guards kinda frown upon that. Given how much wine I plan on consuming on this vacation, I'm going to pass on telling Benedict what I think of his policies. I also haven't been to a church service in so long I'd probably accidentally start dancing the hora or something part-way thru.
You know what's funny? When I read the news report this morning, "Oh, Benedict, eat this" were my exact words. Miss you, kiddo.
Miss you too, lady.
