Monday Mutterings

News item: "Despite deepening concerns about his health, an ailing Pope John Paul II told cardinals and bishops gathered at the Vatican on Saturday that he would remain in office for 'as long as God wants.'"

I don't agree with this Pope on much of anything, but it's his own business and that of his followers whether he resigns or not. The chattering classes (particularly the non-Catholic ones) should shut up.

Why is it that local television news people can report on a Democratic Presidential candidate's visit to the state and be unable to pronounce the man's name? It's Ku-CIN-ich, not KU-cin-ich, dammit! I heard this twice Friday night, on two different stations, and it annoys me. I also wonder how big a "free speech zone" our illustrious President will have around him while here.
