In the interest of six posts in one sleep-wake cycle (or seven in one 24-hour period), I'd just like to say one more time how much I love the Rude Pundit, especially the pope coverage.
Hey, you know, that is so many posts in one day. So many that I think I should get an award. If someone were to send me an award--a nice one, suitable for framing--I would write six posts in one day (and seven in one 24-hour period) all about that person. I would conduct an e-mail interview, and then I would post a seven-part series. Anyone? Anyone want to read seven posts about him- or herself? Is there anyone you want to read seven posts about? Then pressure them to send me an award. If you're interested, click the "e-mail me" link conveniently located to your left to hash out the details.
(And when do we get an acceptable gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun already? Because the person who gives us that will totally get an award too, and I will write many laudatory posts about him/her. Possibly as many as seven in one sleep-wake cycle (or eight in one 24-hour period).)
