Pope John Paul II Dies: Funeral Largest in History

Oh yeah, as a news site we probably should have covered this one. We never said we were professionals, but since all of you are just dying for the story here's a recap of what went down.

Pope dies, I actually thought he was dead already, everyone in the entire world shows up to see it, people were waiting in line for days to get a glimpse of his body. All the world leaders were there, Bush in the front of them all, with Chirac, Blair, and the German guy, what's his name again (like it makes a difference), Schroeder, all probably whispering jokes to each other about Bush.

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that when all these guys are at any type of social function together that they are probably all standing around talking to each other about world affairs, fine art, wine, literature or something like that when Bush just comes up to them and joins the conversation,

"Hey there boys, how y'all doing?" Then each one of them kind of rolls their eyes and looks at Blair like you better say something buddy. Aren't you two boys or whatever?

"Hi George," Tony will chime in, "How are you?"

"Well, I'm just happier than a pig in shit boys, let me tell you. How's everything going in Old Europe anyway? Did I hear you fellas talkin' about literary stuff. I read a few books in my day, why don't you let me have a crack?"

Chirac probably chimes in, "Well we were just talking about the post modernist symbolism in the early works of T.S. Elliot. What do you think?" To which George makes some joke about how he picked the wrong year to quit drinking.

Hi, my name is George.

Then when George leaves they probably all go back to making fun of him again in various languages. I don't know that's just how I see it.

Anyway back to the Pope's funeral. Basically a lot of people were there, there were a lot of priests wearing funny hats, and that was pretty much that. So hope you feel better, we covered the event. Ok.
