Yup. That’s the headline on the AOL signon page, now.

I’m hoping for a new, and more liberal Pope when John Paul finally vacates the seat. However that might happen.

That doesn’t mean that I’m _delighted_ to know his health is so precarious.  
Really.  
**gobear** , you have my permisson to be delighted, of course, but I don’t think I can call you one of the faithful.😉
