People,

I know this may rub some people the wrong way, but isn't this whole Pope situation a little ridiculous? He is obviously a very frail and sick man and is no longer fit to carry out his Popely duties. I mean, I don't want him to die, in the same way that I don't want anyone to die who truly wants to live, but I do want him to step down and call it a day for PJPII. I mean, he's getting a little wacky in his final days. Did you all catch the "gay marriage is evil" speech the other night? Don't even get me started.

I'm not a religious person, but I recognize how important the position of Pope is in the world. I may not think that he's God's instrument, but I acknowledge that his thoughts and actions affect literally billions of people. And so I'm hopeful that Pope John Paul will step down, Pope George Ringo will step up and that he'll help bring people together.

How cool would it be if Ringo really was the Pope? Damn.
