Will someone please stop the 24 hour a day Popeathon
I'd like to get back to some semi-important news right now. This media orgasm for the benefit of the papists is really starting to bug me. Not trying to be offensive but its over, the guy died lets get on with real life.

-Rant mode off

1. You could stop watching for a while
and just read the news. There is not hard and fast rule that says "news" has to come from TV.

3. Wha'? I'd prefer that the cameras be rolling when the Pope
suddenly sits up and says, "Ha! Ha! Just kidding! Gotcha! No wait... I'm resurrected! Really! I am! Gotcha again! Haw haw haw!".




Divert your attention at your peril.

11. I haven't watched one minute of it, and frankly haven't missed much
been here and other sites on the web to pick up news. Just one more paragraph in the history of world, there are also other paragraphs in the making of this history that is not being reported.

6. A friend says she's sick of the Mope of the Pope, Pope on a Mope
I said it sounds like a new dance, the Pope Mope.

14. Change the channel.
Turn off the TV.
Go for a walk.
Read a book.
{Insert any of 10,000 other alternatives to watching Pope coverage here}
