Welcome and Happy Birthday!


Well, good! Pope Benedict XVI made his first appearance in the United States this week and met the President and First Lady on a day that just happened to be the Pontiff's birthday. The Pope is scheduled to be in the White House today and later deliver mass in Yankee Stadium. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, Pope Benedict only asked that his traditional birthday spanking of eighty-one licks be given by a young boy of his choosing.

Ouch!

Actually, I think I saw a DateLine NBC special, where a guy with the same hat as the Pope concealed a hidden camera in the headgear in order to do an undercover assignment...
