...Other stops include Ground Zero and Yankee Stadium in New York City. “I am very much excited and inspired by his coming,” Kijewski said. “This is a time when many Catholics in America are facing tough choices, and Pope Benedict XVI??s coming may serve as a reminder for us to remember God and figure out where He is in our lives.” Greeted by President Bush and his family, the Pope arrived in D.C. on Tuesday afternoon.

...Yale should probably keep its eyes open and beware. This is likely only the conclusion of the first, more moderate stage of the Revolution. They say that the past is the best predictor of the future—and if history is any indicator, we can predict Handsome Dan XVI??s imminent decapitation and the eventual fall of the ancien regime. After all, they also say that those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it—and who at Yale knows anything...
