If the Pope shit in NYC, would we know about it? Yeah, probably. Fox News is on his trail!

So, I live on Long Island, which is the fish-shaped malignant mass to the east of New York City. This means I have not had to deal directly with the Pope's visit, but the news had made it possible for me to have to do it anyway. I'm not sure if the people who run the media are aware of this, but not all of us who watch the news are Catholic, some of us aren't even Christian, and you can probably bet that the Jews, Muslims, Hindus and most definitely the atheists really don't give a holy crap if the leader of the Catholic church is here. And some of us (ahem, me) feel pretty uncomfortable having religion forced down our throats like this.

Needless to say, I am pissed that The Chris Matthews Show was pre-empted by the Pope, even though Matthews himself is probably super-psyched that he's here. But Chez Pazienza is funnier about it.
