Take this piece about the Pope’s flu, for example. It makes me wonder at least a couple things not addressed: Is the Vatican flu as bad as the Kremlin flu (or was that the Kremlin cold, and that’s why the Vatican emphasized that this is the flu and not a cold)? Why wouldn’t an 84-year-old guy get a flu shot (and related questions about whether flu shots work, or if JP2 is a closet Christian Scientist)? What up with that?
Update: now he’s been hospitalized. Not to get too far ahead of myself, but I wonder if they’ll go with the smoke grenades like last time, or if there will be some new white smoke/black smoke technology developed in the last 25 years.
