New Pope! OMG!

And with all the tension between the American Catholic Church and the Vatican, it's great that Ratzinger chose such a cuddly, America-friendly name like Benedict.

Its an old white guy! I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you that a group consisting of mostly old european guys passed over the opportunity to make good with the massive amount of latin american and african catholics in favor of an old european guy.

I was hoping he would choose an unpronouncable symbol. Then he could be the pope formerly known as... (stole the joke from somwhere else)

The Pope formerly known as Nazi Youth from what I understand. When I think of compassion and caring I always look towards the Nazi Party for inspiration, how about you?

Wait, Chuck, I'm going to defend him on that: Kids his age had to join the Nazi Youth, and later I understand that he deserted, an act which carried the death penalty.

He's a wacko and a homophobe and would probably be a wet blanket at just about any party, and he's about as progressive as the last Benedict, but he ain't no Nazi!
