Poped Out

The gluttonous media coverage of the death of Pope John Paul II and the installation of Pope Benedict XVI is giving me bizarre dreams. I did not feel the need to attend church this morning. Last night I dreamt that I was sitting through a really long Mass although I do not practice Catholicism nor have I in the past. There were all these alter boys in the front wearing Irish green satin robes. I could only see the backs of their heads and I remember one of them wearing two earrings similar to George Michael's earrings. At the end of the dream I finally saw the face of one of them after he lit a candle-- it was John Kerry. I am so ready for Chris Jansing to get out of Rome.
