Top 20 Most Awesome Popes

Poor Digby has had even more trouble with Blogger than we have...which seems hard to believe. But his post makes me mindful of a couple of things.

First, because I agree with him and most of you simply cannot get enough of this shot, or so our corporate media masters believe, here it is again.


I suggest you pretend you are not so much reading this blog, as staring at the image of a live shot upon a 5-inch video screen. Hum some Latin Dirge while your at it and you've pretty much got the real thing.

Meanwhile, let me rank the 20 most AWESOME popes ever for discussion:

1. Peter
2. John
3. John
4. Gregory
5. Pius
6. John
7. John
8. John
9. hmmmm, John
10. John
11. Pius
12. Sixtus
13. Urban
14. John
15. John
16. Leo
17. Innocent
18. John
19. Agapetus
20. John

These are not to be confused with the 10 most unforgetable Kings of France, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis, Francis, and Louis.

For those of you who wish for papal obsessions* outside of cable news, look no further than the Intersection of Necrophelia Street & OCD Avenue where she-beast Lopez has posted even more on Karol than she did on Schiavo, as impossible as that seems. TBogg did the count and found totals that are herculean and disturbing. Hey, K-Lo, Xanax, it's not just for breakfast anymore!
