The decision on who becomes pope is chosen by the college of cardinals. This decision is made shortly after the Pope's death, within a matter of days.

Now CNN.com is not reporting it anymore.

Its most likely an off-air gig. I turned another one down in Louisiana last week.

My new apartment is awesome, and the best part is that its roommate free! I might have a new job back in radio by the end of next week! I heart my box! There's a sale on exclamation points!

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Incredibly sad news. We're coming to the end of an extraordinary era, as John Paul II is arguably the greatest Pope in the history of the Catholic Church. I'd put Simon Peter a bit ahead of John Paul II

Finally, I can take my Ryno jersey out of retirement here.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 05:59 AM) Um, in case you forgot, Clinton ran for President in 1996. And, like both Bushes, did absolutely nothing to halt illegal immigration. And you reelected who in 2004? If this is such a big issue for you, throw da bum out. We talk about the need to prevent terror but we keep our borders "wide open" to terrorists, leave our ports and cargo uninspected. The party in power has now had 11 years to take care of this problem. They've done nothing.

Chairman Meow.

Refresh my memory, isn't that the story about the new form of death penalty where the guy has his crime tattooed all over his body til he dies?

Did someone say cheesecake?

This thread is getting too Canadian for my tastes.

Who would you have a winodj with?

Would this be the point in time where I say it distresses me that many many states allow incest but don't allow same sex couples in love to enter the same responsibilities and rights through a marriage or civil union? Yeah, I think it is.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) I think I'm just going to give him a heads up that there's some personal stuff going on (rather than going to the HR department who is pretty much a joke around here) that may cause me to miss some unexpected time and not mention resigning. I feel that's the best way to cover all my bases at this point. Thanks for the advice guys. You got the right idea Steff. Don't force your hand by even mentioning a possibility of quitting. If your boss is smart, he'd realize its a possibility given what you're saying. If he isn't, then he's not the kind of boss likely to take that possibility well to begin with.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) Funny how 'stereotypes' often have good historical and factual truths to them.... Kinda how people in West Virginia are often considered crazy hillbillies. It doesnt help peoples opinion of them when they act irrational. A week ago,after West Virginia advanced to the Elite 8 the students lit over 50 fires and burned everything in sight. Sounds like a crazy hillbilly thing to do. I agree that stereotypes are more an exception than a rule in most cases, but most of the time they wouldnt have appeared if their wasnt at least partially true... Thoughts? Visit East Lansing when the Spartans lose or win this weekend and see if its a Mountaineer only phenomenon.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) Like Clinton? And what was he running for again? Oh yeah, nothing.

My mom once blew a .38 and that was before her BAC level crested. If you've been pickling yourself in booze for years, you develop an amazing tolerance. BTW, .35 for a diabetic is fatal. .4 is for most people.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) Excellent post. I do not support vigilantes patrolling our border, but I'd rather they do it than NOBODY. Our own government is (and has been) failing us miserably on this issue. I wonder how many al Qaeda operatives have already snuck into the country from Mexico. Unfortunately, it's going to take one of them to detonate a nuclear weapon in downtown LA before our government does a damn thing about this. So then why do you insist on reelecting the people who are falling down on the job?
