Pope appeal

The Pope is in town (well, not my town) and he took the opportunity to speak out about the abuse crisis (though he didn't do near enough to talk about the institutional problems that led to the cover ups). Robear is going to see him in DC, but the funny thing is that the friend who is accompanying her was offered $250 for her ticket the other day. This made me curious so I went looking on Craigslist, where people are desperately offering anything from $1 to whatever you want them to pay for tickets.

Whispers in the Loggia is following him pretty closely and has some good commentary on the speech.
