See, I saw the subject line coming in, and thought, ``Who on WNN is named Benedict?'' And then I thought, ``Wait, could that be the Pope? No, Popes don't resign.

Is this like the 90s when Aaron Sorkin took over writing the Presidency and we got a freaking *impeachment* for some reason? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
