Best headline of the day:Pope Benedict learnt nothing from his time in the Hitler Youth
...although the piece itself doesn't live up.
Best comment of the day:
...when the Pope busts out with this kind of brute medieval crap, it’s really hard to restrain oneself from pointing out that he is an elderly man who dresses up in a white kimono and pointy wizard’s hat, waves about a golden shepherd’s crook and pretends to hear voices from a supernatural being who tells him what kinds of sexual acts are good and what kinds are filthy. Apologies to Catholic sensibilities, I love the rituals and respect the intellectual tradition, but, you know, come on.
The hat also makes him look like a 7 foot condom.
