Pope

[devilgrrl]

So, can someone answer me why the Pope shoves his foot sideways in his mouth and during the protests, they burn American Flags? Seriously... He's not ours, our president didn't say it (for once), and I didn't vote for him. How'd we get mixed up in this one?

We totally did and it was a conspiracy for me not to vote that day. I would've voted against him.

Not that I agree, but when anything remotely "Christian" comes into question with this sort of thing, the United States is pretty much used as the prime example of "all that is wrong." You're talking about a primarily Christian country that considers itself the forerunner of "Western" civilization in this day and age. So, naturally the connection for Islamic extremists is: Pope = Catholic = Western = United States = Grrrr!

Oh, I totally understand the breakdown, but I still was all WTF!?!?! and the news.

Hehe. Yeah. I'm not a big fan of this pope... Please view illustration.



Then again, not a big fan of a lot of world leaders today...

That's a bloody fantastic photo!

Did you see the Wikipedia entry the night he was elected, showing a picture of Palpatine/Darth Sidious in lieu?

Haha. I think so! So many freaking great jokes!

Great photo, and I love the angry, trotting pig, which I have been informed is named Oliver.

Yes. Oliver is awesome. *hugs the pig* I think he marches to the song of "I'm gonna kick ass."
