I really don’t get this whole pope thing. I mean, why it’s getting so much attention and why I’m supposed to give a shit (this isn’t unusual for me – I don’t give a shit about Justin Bieber’s “worst birthday ever” or whether some inbred Brit got his wife knocked up, or even if the Queen has a tummy ache). As Art mentioned yesterday Kookie Roberts was slobbering over the pope’s return to the “little people” with all its spectacle and pageantry. Seriously. He’s the former head of a creepy cult who helped protect pedophile priests for his apparently not as wonderful as he was made out to be predecessor, and quit before his term (life) was up. <\/p>\n

The only interesting part of the whole thing was when a “fake” cardinal joined in yesterday<\/a> and didn’t get noticed for quite a while (despite wearing a Jack Abramoff hat instead of the red Yarmulke the rest of them wear, and a big purple scarf as a sash). Best thing since Fr. Guido Sarducci told me to “finda da popes inna da pizza.”<\/p>\n

In other news, Paul Ryan is back with his plan to screw me (personally) over. He now wants to change Medicare to a voucher program for anybody under 56<\/a> (previously it was 55 – I guess he just wants to make certain I get screwed, in case it takes a couple of years to pass). And I heard Jeb Bush (why are we paying attention to him now?) on NPR saying Obama should be a man like his daddy and brother and Ronnie Raygun and raise the Social Security age. <\/p>\n

I’m too damn close to retirement to have them changing the rules on me now.<\/p>\n

Speaking of people who should STFU, Mitt Romney has been flapping his gums lately? Doesn’t he realize that he lost by about as much as you can lose a presidential election by these days? Even Republicans don’t like him, so why doesn’t he just go off and be rich somewhere. Doesn’t he have a mansion to knock down and rebuild or something.<\/p>\n

Of well, back to work. Gotta earn my $14.50<\/p>\n
