Pope Benedict's Tweets
Now that the Pope has joined Twitter, Paul Rudnick imagines some of the pontiff's tweets:
During a papal audience, I put folks at ease by asking, “Are you gay?” Then I say, “Kidding!” Then I go, “No, seriously, are you gay?”
It’s hard to tell all the cardinals apart, so sometimes I put different dinosaur stickers on their backs.
Proof of God’s existence: St. Patrick’s is right next to Saks.
Whenever people doubt that angels are real, I ask them, “Excuse me, but have you seen the Jonas Brothers in concert?”
I hate to say it, but nuns are God’s punch lines.
Michele Bachmann is not Satan. Satan doesn’t have split ends.
I met the Dalai Lama and he was so nice, but all I could think was, Sandals? In January? Really?
Nancy Grace: perfect name for a gay Pope?
Read all them at The New Yorker...

Very good David, I was wondering what you might post. How about "When in flight angels swoosh, never swish."

This is great -- but Paul is a bit of a weirdo!
