The EA “Imagine” Award Goes To Pope Leo, Who Should Put A Bag Over His Head…

How I wish he had sung it! That would have been funny and maybe entertaining. Otherwise this kind of pronouncement is 100% useless and insulting, while making too many people dumber.

Speaking to executives and staff from Italy’s ITA Airways, the first U.S. Pope proved he could be as fatuous as other Popes by saying, “No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky. After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombings should have been banned forever. Yet they still exist … this is not progress; it is regression!”

Well, if we could have the marshmallow world John Lennon imagined, “nothing to live of die for” and no countries or religion, that might be slightly less ludicrous, but only slightly. Now that I’ve roused those banished brain cells where I store “Imagine,” let me take a few minutes to run “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” in my mind to cleanse it.

There! Much better!

  1. Aerial bombardment should be banned, eh? And when you see that some nation has built itself a fleet of bombers, or an array of long-range missiles, how will this ban be enforced? You aren’t allowed to bombard it from the air. Should other nations invade from the ground, fighting for every inch of the hundreds of miles from the nearest border to the objective, turning every village along the way into a war zone?

    • Dave, Dave, Dave. The U.N. will ban aerial bombardment with Russia and China joining in! Come on. Pay attention.

      What rock has this Leo guy crawled out from under? At least he doesn’t seem to be as much a Commie as Francis was.

    • Maybe our boy Leo would be OK with armies decked out in striped tunics and feathered helmets going at each other with halberds. He could hole up in Castel Sant’Angelo until things blew over.
