But Heads of state don't charge admission when they speak. <br /><br />What a bummer for Benedict.<br /><br />So he's making THIS trip as the head of a church .... although calling the mandatory price of admission a "donation" is decidedly dodgy, especially before the "service" is rendered. <br /><br />Now if he would just "confess" (to whom I don't know) that he thinks of himself as a rock star -- and we can understand why he conflates his identity with same; after all, wasn't it St. Peter who said "upon this rock..." ? -- then he could charge admission on the up and up.<br /><br />But he's trying to have it both ways -- he just doesn't want to pay taxes on his take. So it's back to the Il Papa thing, with the bogus donations that are tax exempt. <br /><br />What's Latin for: I am the rock; I am entitled; I am exempt?<br /><br />PS -- why when I registered under a Pseud that I registered with Google does my real name show up if I post under Google account?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544217363787442756.post-77617473325689288562010-09-14T07:48:36.697-04:002010-09-14T07:48:36.697-04:00I love the papal layaway plan.

I would rather like to lay away this one and wait for the next one...someone John 23d-ish, perhaps. <br /><br />I was surprised at the degree to which the right-wing sees Benedict as a messiah (small m).
