pope-pourri, part one*
From the Department of Lost Irony: The news networks repeated use of dubya's new catchphrase, "culture of life", while giving round the clock coverage to the dying and death of The Pope and Terri Schiavo.
Papal Deathwatch 2005: As a fan of huge fan of The Daily Show, I loved the 18+ hours of non news coverage by all the cable news networks about the not yet dead status of The Pope after the initial false death report made them all look foolish. I was a little disappointed that FOX News had the restraint not to splash PAPAL DEATHWATCH 2005 on the screen with a catchy little metal guitar riff and explosion sound effect when they went in and out of commercial breaks.
Not that this is really related but it kinda is in an indirect way: Tom Delay is a dickhead. He is a giant festering pus-oozing phallus. I realize, my dear reader, that we all are quite aware of it, it comes as a surprise to nobody. It just feels good to say.
Thank you, that is all for now.
