Cripe, now they're starting with the Pope..............

[ClintonTyree]

what is with this stuff? CNN, MSNBC, FAUX, all death watch, all the time. :banghead:

Now we'll have to endure this 24/7 until there's a puff of smoke.

Certainly, there MUST be SOMETHING else going on in the world today!

That's it, the TV's staying off until they've stopped this morbid fascination with death. :hide:

1. Well there is the Pope

Prince Rainier and possibly Falwell yet to go.

Prepare for a week of funeral footage minimum

[beyurslf]

3. Don't forget the Cheif Justice of the SCOTUS

[Bluebear]

4. Rainier doesn't count....

too "French" sounding.

The media prefers "holy" people for their death watches these days.

[LiberalEsto]

8. But Monaco's a tax haven

I'm sure the ultra-rich rethugs will weep

[Maple]

9. Yeah but he was married

to Princess Grace...an American movie star

And Prince Albert...the new ruler is her son.

And there are a couple of rowdy daughters.

[Bluebear]

10. Ah, thanks

Forgot about Grace and the daughters. NOW it's a relevant American story again ;)

2. Pope death watch begins..........No WMD and thousands upon thousands

of deaths over a pack of lies will have to wait.

[Danocrat]

5. Three US soldiers died in Iraq today

Can I get a Fundie protest?
How about a picture of a child praying?
How about a one paragraph news story?
Some old footage maybe?
No?
Nothing?
Anybody?

[_TJ_]

6. The pope ain't never going down

He's the freakin Popeinator

[Lexingtonian]

7. It's the 24/7 Christian Right death watch!

It's all metaphor. A generation of hardcore politicizing of religion starting to die, its leaders literally doing so.
