What? They made Ratzo Rizzo a Pope????

[Seabiscuit]

to serve as Midnight Cowboy Bush's sidekick????

1. LOL! n/t

2. A pertinent question, by god.

I heard this on the radio and was confused: Was Ratzo Rizzo the character named Pope? Wow. If that's true, SOMEone at the Vatican is going to have to sit the boy down to discuss grooming tips.

Or was it Dustin Hoffman? There's that old Vatican argument, "Should we select a fictional film character or a Jewish liberal actor" but at the very least, the rest of us need to know which it is.

The grooming qwestion notwithstanding, I could go with Ratzo Rizzo. Or with Hoffman. What the hell. He was great in TOOTSIE.

nice to see you again on DU, Seabiscuit!

4. LOL! Thanks, Old Crusoe.

I had a computer virus and was gone for almost a week until it was repaired yesterday.

6. Well, welcome back on-line and to DU, too.

& Thanks for this post. We needed a little light in an otherwise dark couple of weeks.

I'd no sooner read your post and enjoyed it when i flipped back over to LBN and saw that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has suspended the Bolton hearings until after recess.

And it's lilac time where I am right now.

So things are looking up.

[Seabiscuit]

7. Lilac time, eh?

Reminds me of an old Pete Seeger song:

"When it's apple blossom time
In Orange, New Jersey
We'll be a peach of a pear.
Well you know we cantalope
But honeydew be mine..."

8. This country could use a lot more of Pete Seeger --

-- and a lot less of George Bush and Jim Dobson!

[Seabiscuit]

10. The country could use more lilac and less shrub... and MORE COWBELL!

5. People stoppin', starin'

I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

[Seabiscuit]

9. "Hey! I'm walkin' here! I'm walkin here!" ... as the new pope walks down

the aisle of St. Peters, he won't be able to contain himself.
