When I registered six domain names at the end of a 14-hour writing day earlier this month, I didn’t realize that my actions would reach all the way up to the Vatican. I figured that some idiot was going to do it, so the idiot might as well be me.
I’ve received an offer from a gambling site. I’m pretty sure that’s a bad idea, ecclesiastically speaking, but I should contact Bill Bennett to make sure.
Thinking out loud, I’m trying to figure out what I might ask for, should Pope Benedict’s people get with my people (a hastily convened College of Cardinals that includes my grandmother Rita and my in-laws, fellow Catholics whose commitment to our faith was demonstrated by their nine children).
Here are some things I would like. Please do not call them demands:
- I. Three days, two nights at the Vatican hotel they built for the conclave.
- II. One of those hats. * III. Complete absolution, no questions asked, for the third week of March 1987. * IV. A back-cover blurb from the Pope for the next edition of Movable Type 3 Bible Desktop Edition. But only if he uses the book to create his own weblog. * V. World peace.
