K.Lo,
I don’t even bother with the news anymore. I know that if it’s important I will hear it on the radio or read in on NRO. I think it’s ironic that your critic thinks you are reporting too much on the Pope. In my office three-fourths of us are watching CNN – and none of us are Catholic.
I can’t get over the sports-event atmosphere. It’s wonderful to see so many people this enthusiastic about something that’s actually important.
By the way, congratulations on being the first to call the white smoke…
you posted it on the corner before any news channels were calling it.
