It’s official: the world is a popeless place. Yes, that’s right, Pope Benedict left the Vatican today by helicopter for the papal summer residence. He’s probably in the pope-copter getting the papal staff worked over by his handsome young secretary as we speak. Before he flew off into the Italian sky, the “pope emeritus” issued this, his final tweet…
Much more important than the pope’s tweet are the responses to it, obviously. A sampling…
After landing, Benedict will make a run to Costco where he’ll stock up on oatmeal and candles. Later in the day he’ll hit the early bird special at Piccadilly. And the world will spin madly on.
