A noteworthy day in the news today...and news which helps me to clarify some some views and convictions.

Of course the biggest news story of the day is the choice of Benedict XVI as the new Pope. I was intrigued all along, but especially when the networks started interviewing various wags from different fringe groups in the (mostly American) Catholic church who are upset that this Pope won't approve married priests, gay marriage, abortions, women in the priesthood, tolerance of other religions and practices, etc., etc., etc. regarding their particular fringe idea. The more I heard from these whiners how dissapointed/angry/fearful/disgusted they are, the more I began to LIKE Pope Benedict XVI!!!

The other news story that rang my bells was the meltdown in the confirmation hearing for UN Ambassador nominee Bolton. I have already loved the notion that President Bush nominated a man to the UN who has been openly critical of the UN! Today, however, the senators nearly crapped their starched drawers over the possibility that at some time in his past, Bolton might have (prepare yourselves!) hurt some peoples' feelings! I REALLY like this guy now!!!

Both of these stories demonstrate a character trait of mine that I've already been aware of: I enjoy pissng people off! Especially whining nannies and sniveling ninnies and professional victicrats of all stripes.

Come on over here so I can pop you in the nose!
