#Headline
"Pope Benedict to step down" ...to spend more time with his family.

#Headline
"Cardinal Dolan ‘somber’ over pope’s resignation" He will no longer
have the simple joy of secretly calling the pope "Benny Dick"
3.
#Headline
"NY archbishop ‘startled’ at pope’s resignation" An aide jumped out
from behind a bush & shouted, "Boo! The pope's resigning!"
4.
#Headline
"America's new power in picking pope" Maybe an American Idol type
thing? Or select the pope using scratch off lottery tickets?
5.
#Headline
"Benedict’s legacy clouded by sex-abuse crisis" A shame if that
overshadows Pope Benedict's long coaching career & bowl games.
6.
#Headline
"Who'll be the next pope?" Isn't it time for a Jewish pope?
That's it for #Headlines
Bye, Pope Benedict as we look to a future where a Jedi will take over because
Obiwan you're my only pope! #sorry

I
decided the Pope is a pretty good gig (except I do like my Sundays off) and so
I posted the following wonderings on Twitter on February 12th:
1. Pope Big Willie
2. Pope Bernstein ("Bernie" to my homeys)
3. Pope Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza
4. Pope Gallifrey
5. Pope Dunder-Mifflin
6. Pope Funkmaster
7. Pope Rock!
8. Pope Janet
9. Pope Krzyzewski
10. Pope Batman

It didn’t take long for
names to pop up as potential new Popes. Some were consider a long shot at best
so on February 16th, 2013, I tweeted the following:
Now let’s take a look at (cue echo effect) #LongShotForPope!
Cardinal Sean O'Malle of Boston is a #LongShotForPope
but he's not the only one.

I felt compelled to comment on this #Headline on
February 21st, 2013
And the day before Pope
Benedict flew off in his helicopter (The Whirly Pope), I tweeted these bits of
business from February 28th:
1.
His jewell encrusted
"Taking Care of Business" belt
2.
When he crooned,
"The Way You Look Tonight"
3.
He could rock the Axe
Body Spray
4.
He loved to bob for
apples or heretics if he was feeling silly.
5.
Poker nights..but let me
say it was a dick move to bring in the Big Guy to help with your cards, Benny!
6.
He loved being called
"Benny"
7.
He could turn a frown
upside down by having cardinals hold sad people by their ankles over the
balcony.
8.
The way he snorted when
he laughed at pedophile jokes
9.
The way he made
spaghetti in his Pope hat
10. Popping wheelies in the Popemobile!
I guess I should go on
record to say I am not Catholic so the whole hierarchy of Pope, Cardinal,
Bishops, Time Lords and the Q Continuum leaves me a bit perplexed. Suffice to
say, I would not make a good Pope. I would probably lead Mass with a reciting
of the Green Lantern Oath. (I would, however, at least make it in Latin.)
Hey, if you’re reading
this blog for the first time, you might want to get to know me better. Let’s
find out what makes me mad! That’s coming up later on the blog.
