Reactions to Election

We've been reading different reactions to the papal election. The Old Oligarch's is one of the most enjoyable. LINK. Excerpt:

The other sure bet in terms of news coverage: by the time I got home around 11 pm, and started a bottle of Rheinish wine and a slice of Schwartzwaldkuchen, I could see that the news media had come to realize just exactly how grim this election was for their AmChurch schismatic fantasies of women priests, latitudinarianism and a papally-endorsed orgasmatron. In fact, the first visage to greet me from the TV was dour, withered, grimacing puss of a polyester-clad nun (NCR's Chittister) who was clearly Not Happy. Fah. Today's no day for me to even bother to engage that nonsense. Let the image of Benedict XVI hit their circuits like an airbubble to the brain. To my mind, it's champagne.
