HOLY SMOKE WE GOT US A NEW POPE

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope Tuesday. He chose the name Benedict XVI. We here in the U.S. have a problem with people with the name Benedict (Remember Benedict Arnold betrayed us during the American Revolutionary War.) on top of that he is German. He would have been only a teenager during World War II so Nazi ties are unlikely. However, what of the rumors (Started here.) of his careening drunkenly down the Autobahn with little boys in the passenger seat. Hmmmm.

His predecessor in name, Benedict XV, has a statue in Istanbul proclaiming him a Turkish hero, for his amazing contributions to the Turkish war effort during World War I.

There may be a Turkish brothel/hooka angle in this whole fracas you're cooking up if you play with the interpretation of appearances just a wee little bit.
