one of my other incarnations is as a writer for a soap opera website. (yeah, yeah...I know...)
So, in the name of my job, I was watching the daytime dramas when suddenly CBS broke in with this important news bulletin:
There is no pope yet.
Let me see if I understand what just happened: CBS broke into a program to breathlessly tell us we don't have a pope yet? Insightful commentary included this gem: "If we see white smoke tomorrow, then one of the previously mentioned candidates will have surged ahead." That brilliant statement is on a par with, "whoever scores the most points will win the ballgame."
And, by the way, they wouldn't have interrupted the ballgame for the non-pope report.
Idiots.
