I went to church tonight . . .

[Call me Deacon Blues]

You know, I went to a mass for John Paul II this evening, and listened to the priest celebrate his life. When I got home I watched a documentary about JPII, about the way he affected people, the good he did, the controversy he sometime engendered. I’m now convinced that he was the prime mover behind the fall of the Soviet Union, not a certain orange-haired ex-president. But more than anything, I was overwhelmed at the love millions of people felt for this man.

Then I thought of the pictures of Blinky and Pickles at the Vatican yesterday, and I realized that there’s no damn way the little creep or his masters, KKKarl and DDDick, can spin their boy’s visit into anything positive. Why? Because next to the pomp and majesty, next to the true greatness of John Paul II, next to the love and admiration and celebration of his life, our unelected president looks like the cowardly, illiterate fraud he is.

Sometimes there IS justice in the world.

2. Everyone thinks Reagan ended the cold war

I think a good case can be made that it was JPII's influence that triggered the Solidarity movement in Poland, followed a few years later by the fall of the USSR. But I'm not a historian, so maybe I'm wrong.
