Hail to the Pope

This one seemed to have slipped in under the radar, and all good subjugations and perversions should: Flags are being kept at half-mast by presidential order for the soldiers killed in the helicopter crash....no wait, wait....I meant for THE POPE!

Are they serious? I thought our half-mast flag was for national tragedies - the death of Americans or those in the service of America.

The Pope? Most of the evangelicals I meet don't even think (or realize) that Catholics are Christians. This is a tawdry attempt to connect our GW to the "culture of life". The Pope was adamantly against the war and the death penalty (and yet his dogmatic policies towards birth control did their own damage in third world countries) so how is it that GW thinks there is any connection between himself and the Vatican? Notice how Scott McClellan dodged those very questions at the latest White House press briefings?

Let's reframe this! I think we should call it Bush's "Culture of Hypocrisy."
