Sept. 24, 2015 - 8:08 a.m. The Pope is coming to NY! The Pope is coming to NY! THE POPE IS COMING TO NY! THE POPE IS COMING TO NY! On the same day NewWifey(tm) and I have to drive in and catch a flight out to Colorado. We're attending the wedding of one of my wife's bumpkin relations. There will be jello mold. If you don't hear from me in a week it means I'm still sitting on the George Washington Bridge trying to get to LaGuardia Airport. Because the fucking POPE is coming to NY. Oh - it's also the same day President Obama and a hundred and forty heads of state of foreign countries are in town attending the U.N. General Assembly. Hieronymus Bosch couldn't have imagined a more disturbing scenario. If ISIS wanted to completely paralyze New York City and plunge its residents into the pit of despair, they couldn't have devised a better plan. I could see a lot of locals on the East Side particularly deciding that chucking it all and joining their ranks might be a good idea, because ISIS specifically mentions in their charter: gridlock is punishable by beheading, like everything else. That's a particularly persuasive recruitment tool here. The Pope is coming to NY, people. The fucking Pope. Pray for me. (But at least this gives me the chance to repeat a favorite, and now VERY relevant, joke: How do you get a nun pregnant? Dress her like an Altar Boy.) . . .
