The REAL Reason Bush is going to the Pope's Funeral
What a boon it will be for his falling ratings if he has a sweet ride!

2. well, by one guy right?
I almost answered him, but I clicked on his profile and saw he was gay. I won't force a gay person to defend gay-hating practitioners as the Catholic Church is and as the Pope was. I can't understand why some people want to rise up in all sorts of defence of people who HATE THEIR GUTS. The pope called homosexuality an abomination. Not cool.

I like your graphic, and if someone thinks you are 'exploiting' the pope-well just because they say it, doesn't make it so...

3. Sorry to hear that
If one cannot see the "overwrought" nature of this event, just like the unbelievable zoo that Schiavo was then they are willfully ignoring it.

Honor his memory sure, but I have no problem with punturing the banalities of the event...yes, including the Popemobile.

5. I think the reason he's
going is to eat pasta with clam sauce and quaff some of that good Italian Red.......... don't let him claim otherwise!

6. Here's the thing
I know he has his cynical motives for being there. And I don't like him being there... I especially don't like that Condi gets to go instead of President Carter.

But he is the head of state, and NOT going would be seen as an insult to the Church, and every Catholic in this country. He has to go.

13. As Always Use Anything Of Mine That You'd Like!
It is about message baby! Fell free to lift from the site.

Most of the full size versions have small verions on the server (at least newer images). Just add "-Small" before .jpg
