¡JODER! ¡Que mala suerte!

Translation: Fuck! What bad luck!

Welcome to the 19th Century. Benedict XVI? What a boring choice, for a pope and a name. Could it be more predictable? I guess this means that the Cardinals picked the Dean of the College of Cardinals. What imagination. I remain convinced that I actually won the election, but because I wasn´t there and the winner was in charge of the elections, what could I do. Now I know what Al Gore feels like. Ratzinger is like Bush, Katherine Harris, and the Supreme Court of the 2000 election all rolled into one, and I´m currently petitioning the Holy See for a recount. We´ll see how far that gets.

Another note. Ratzinger´s German. German. I´ll say it again...German. I tend to have the same opinion as my brother...the Germans just haven´t paid enough for the bullshit they put the world through in the first half of the 20th century. Especially the Holocaust. I´ve met Germans in the airport, and they were honestly some of the nicest people I´ve ever met in Europe and I truly adored them...but that doesn´t mean I want a German as the pope. Oy vey. I can slowly feel my secular Judaism building settlements on my secular Catholicism and spiritually agnostic part.
