...As Cardinal, Bergoglio became known for personal humility, doctrinal

I am just glad this is over.

I haven't seen this much interest in smoke since Cheech and Chong

Over? It lasted two days. Patience, man, patience. Besides, the new pope
is an old man. With luck, both of us will live to see another papal
election.

We have been hearing about it for a month before the election, wall to
wall. I have lived through 6 of these and this is the first one where
they had the chimney on split screen on TV all day, waiting for smoke.
Here is hoping this one does better than John Paul I.

I do agree they had to take a South American guy. They are the only
Catholics who are consistently drinking the Kool Ade.

The ones who've crossed the southern border into this country are quite prolific, in case you'd not
heard.
