I'm sure this is serious bidness if you're a cardinal at the Vatican. Sparrows are probably enthralled, as well.
Beats the shit outta me why anyone would want anything whatsoever to do with the Catholic Church after all of the scandals that have plagued the organization in recent years. Not to put too fine a point on it, but can anyone name any other club, group, or organization that has weathered hundreds of years of accusations of systemic pedophilia and abuse of its own members, and yet managed to not only survive, but thrive against all odds?
ACORN got caught in a scandal mainly based upon a heavily edited partisan video attack, and they're no longer in operation. Penn State's athletic program had the shit slapped out of it due to the actions of one pedophile and the people in that administration who failed to act when told of his crimes. All over America there are laws requiring sexual predators to register their whereabouts, and their names and locations are public information.
Yet these asshats (but they ARE spectacular hats, in many cases) just keep plugging along, moving pederasts from diocese to diocese in a shell game that would make the Mafia's money laundering operations look amateurish in comparison.
And millions of Americans continue to drop cash in the collection plates to fund this criminal enterprise.
Go figure.
So, thousands of reporters are clustered at the gates of the Vatican watching for smoke signals or something, and we're supposed to expect news bulletins when the new Pope is selected.
"Meet the new boss... Same as the old boss."
And we all get fooled again...

I'm trying to promote the newest biggest hypest reality hit of the 2013 entertainment season, TOP POPE 2013!
I've had a few nominations, but als, most are either women, Cher, Dolly Parton, but a strong candidate none the less, Tina Turner...she did convert to being Swiss recently, you know...the other nominees so far are Barry White, but yes I know, he's dead, does that really matter? and your friend, Old Buzzard who nominated Rowan Atkinson...he would be perfect....
I even did a graphic of my proposed Village Popes pop group...this could be really big, you could get in on the ground floor, babe!
But it's not exactly thriving these days, with active membership and public respect both plummeting. For Pope, I'm definitely hoping for another reptilian medievalist like He Who Zings Rats. Keep the Church on its trajectory away from modernity and into well-deserved oblivion.
What's wrong with Pope Jerry Sandusky, formally of Penn St. University? He's already got the requisite experience at hiding crimes, and he's well-rested.
Just sayin'...
I want you to know that when I am elected Pope, I will not hold these cheap shots you've been taking against you.
