Right. So it's Friday, and I could go into a completely blasphemous post about the Pope, and making bad and inappropriate jokes about altar boys and celibacy, but I'm just going to keep it down to a low roar. I mean, I have a cousin who's a priest and who met John Paul II, so I have to keep at least some sentiment of righteousness or something.

So betUS has odds up on who will take over for Pope Benedict when he finally goes to meet Jesus again.


Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras and Cristoph Von Schoenborn of Austria are both at +700, and Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina is at +900, but the frontrunner is Angelo Scola, who is the Patriarch of Venice, and he's the favorite at +600. I'm thinking he's the favorite because those Italians, they like to keep it in the family, you know?

I wanted to post the Pope sketch from the old MTV sketch show "The State" just for kicks, but I could only find Barry and Levon, which is even more classic, I think. Get your ass in that puddin'!
