"Even our solutions have problems!"

The REAL 'Pope Crazy-Head'

"I conjure forth the darkest demons in this

land or any other! Come forth!

Bow before me! Heed my bidding!

Oh, wait! They're already here!

I just have to release them out

of my hands!

sigh...It's hell getting old...

you forget just how many demons

are resting within."

Distortions-R-Us

Unlike every other con artist and bilker

of the poor, the old, the needy, and the

scared on the planet, these guys not only

aren't on watch lists for fraud and corruption,

they seem to be getting a free pass on the harm

they cause!

I guess the path of all criminals is clear;

wrap yourself in the cloak of religion,

and you too can rape, ravage, and pillage

your way to the top!

Yay, modern times!
