In case you haven't opened a newspaper or turned on a TV in the past week or more the Pope is in America. Of course, this is newsworthy, but come on now. The way its been covered in the DC metro area, you might think the man cured cancer or ended the war or perhaps that everyone in the world had converted to Catholicism. Sorry to seem anti-religion (I'm not, so don't worry) but the man is everywhere and its slightly annoying...But anyway, while the Pope has been here the world has continued functioning, perhaps poorly, but functioning all the same:
-There are food riots happening around the world. One of the most notable countries rioting is Haiti.
-The Democratic debate took place in Philadelphia. The first hour or more was focused solely on issues of zero depth, aka bitter feelings and fake Bosnia sniper fire. I was very disappointed with my man Charlie (Gibson- the moderator).
-A Texas polygamist ranch was raided after a 16-year-old girl reported being abused. An unprecedented case about child abuse and religion is likely to ensue.
-The Kenyans came to an official conclusion regarding the election, with the opposition party publicly being offered and accepting the position of PM.
