no more POPE--all cable is on the Brit wedding. Been switching

[rodeodance]

channels last few hours. Not a word of vatican/pope--everything is on Windsor/prince charles/ death of Diane/ etc etc.

1. ooooh shiny object

god, we've all become drooling toddlers...

btw, didn't we fight a war 229 years ago NOT to have to care about that crap?

[JI7]

2. it's kind of weird

but i find the Brit Wedding pretty entertaining so far. especially the stuff on how many of the wedding memorabilia they are selling are selling more now because of the date which was for the day before when the wedding was originally planned but postponed because of the pope's funeral.

3. The dramitic shift from seeing priests on the screen to seeing royals

on the screen. Just hits me.

[patricia92243]

4. Actually - thank you for mentioning it. I want to watch it and had

forgotten about it. Don't watch tv since the election. would not even know they were getting married if someone at work had not mentioned it.

[arcos]

5. It will be back to John Paul III in a few days...

This is just a break. :P

[rodeodance]

6. Fox complaining that crowd is not as big as they expected.

excuses are that the Queeen will not be seen and it is COLD.

[arcos]

7. funny, CNN said the opposite...

"Charles seems to be happy to see so many people in attendance"

Of course, I guess both of them have no clue whether it is big or not, and as usual they are just making things up... :P

8. The Royal Family is always good for a laugh nt

[rodeodance]

9. oh good greif-Cnn has a Bishop up there talking of the civil ceremony

[rodeodance]

10. the new Dutchess looks good

[flordehinojos]

11. the spanish have an old saying it goes like this,

"el muerto al hoyo y el vivo al pollo"

roughly translated it means something like

"down to the hole with the dead--on to the business of life with the living".

[kentuck]

12. Oh look! There's a brand new penny lying on the floor...

and the media rushes to cover the "new penny". That is the story of the moment. What will it be tomorrow. MaCauley Culkin was abused by Michael Jackson?

[mtnsnake]

16. There's only 1 thing worse than 6 weeks nonstop TV coverage of the Pope

THE ROYAL WEDDING :puke:

Thank God for Discovery and the Travel Channel

[rodeodance]

17. we get the full Church ceremony with Angelican Bishops telling us the

process prior to the ceremony.

[rodeodance]

18. first it was Terri case Fundamentalits, then the Pope, now more religion

of this full ceremony--with lots of chat inbetween of religion in society-who has none, who has some, who needs it.etc etc.
i tire of ti.

[rodeodance]

19. i do like the live orchestra (vs the organ only)

[leesa]

20. It's gonna be real hard to drag this out...second marriage to a consort

and nobody even likes Prince Charles.
