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
Or Bono without his glasses?
I think everyone knows there are two Bonos, right? There is the original Bono with the tush and there is the tragic Bono/Yoko hybrid with the glasses.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is our the new Pope.
I can't have been the only person here who was rooting for Pope Scola.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
No, you really didn't want Cardinal Scola to be pope. Way too conservative.

Really, a Jesuit? That's pretty cool.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not that the now-Francis is anything to cheer about in that regard.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Under the low bar of people opposed to homosexuality, gay rights, contraception and women's rights. I'll have to settle for "Could Be Worse."

I'm Presbyterian, I don't have much of a dog in this fight.
Granted, it'll affect billions of people and he's changing his name anyway...

So, he's going with Francis I
There's never been a Francis? Huh. Someone in Slate letters said its referencing Francis Assisi not Francis Xavier. All I know about those particularly names is that my father (who has the middle name Francis) went with Xavier over Assisi for his confirmation name because he was a 13 year old boy surrounded by 13 year old boys.
I'm guessing that's less of a problem at the Vatican. Hoping? Well, I wouldn't put any money on it.
