So the Networks Are Really Committed to This?

For a week, all we got was Schiavo death bed coverage. Now? Non-stop Catholic services and Pope death watch. I'm half expecting Bob Schindler to call a press conference in which he announces he's told the Vatican that it would be nice if Terri and the Pope could have their funerals together (actually, he says he's already at work on changing legislation so that no one is allowed to die as his daughter did - earth to the grieving Mr. Schinder: this is the way a large percentage of Americans DO die).

What's a word stronger than obscene?

Just for shits and giggles, I messaged a bunch of my still-Catholic friends and co-workers. Not only are they not humungous fans of the pope of their lifetime, they can't stand the non-stop coverage. So who exactly is watching this?
