The Pope said mass in the
Washington Nationals Stadium upon arriving in DC.
Afterwards, at the game that evening, while leading off and
catching for the Nationals, Pope Benedict XVI, who
appropriately wore #16, was the unintentional center of
quite a controversy. After the first pitch to the Pontiff
was thrown, who always tends to crowd the plate, a brush
back pitch might have actually nicked the 81 year old Pope
on one of his flowing robes. After a large argument in which
the Pope stayed out of, kneeling in the batters box, eyes
closed, the umpire did award him first base as he agreed
that the Pope was indeed hit by the baseball. Than, all of a
sudden, a sudden freakish thunderstorm occurred, showering
thunderbolts of lightning on the pitchers mound...but only
the pitchers mound! Mets pitcher John Maine had to be taken
from the game and to the hospital for lightning bolt burns
and than to church to pray for an awful lot of forgiveness.
(Writer was born and raised Catholic, enough said.)
In yet another controversy, in the
bottom of the first inning, before the Nationals Matt Chico
got to throw his first pitch, Pope Benedict XVI once again
started a commotion when he was thrown out of the game for
obstructing the umpires view for refusing to remove his big
hat while catching. As the skies once again turned dark,
Pope Benedict uttered a few words in Latin, the skies
cleared, the home plate umpire came back from hiding under
the stadium and all was quiet after that. It seems his
Eminence didn't mind at all being removed early from the
game. This is the way he was still able make it to Friday's
to celebrate his 81st birthday with a free sundae and a
happy little clapping birthday song by the staff. (We think
the Pope was also spotted at the Old Country Buffet in a
previous joke below??) All that is left to say is we're glad
the staff learned the song in Latin.
Richie Sambora, famed guitarist of Bon
Jovi, had confirmed he will be able to take time off from
his drunk driving and rehab tour to join the band for at
least the band's last 2 shows in New York in July. The other
dates have not yet been announced.
In a related story, there is no truth to
the rumor that the band will be adding 'Jail House Rock' to
their set if Mr. Sambora has to play via satellite from an
'enclosed facility'.

Some people thought the Pope was coming to DC to try and
exorcise the demons from George Bush. After trying it all day
on Dick Cheney, he gave up and didn't have the strength.
While he's here, maybe the Pope can get some divine intervention
and get the Delta and Northwest pilots to agree on the merger of
their two airlines!
If Barak Obama wins the election and becomes President, what do
you think the White House door bell will sound like? Our guess
is...Bling, Bling!
Why does the company Emerson run so many ads during the day on
CNBC and most of them in exotic far away places? What is the
common denominator? Their
client is always late! Get a client who respects you and your
company's
ability and each one of you in different accents won't have to
say..."We've
been waiting for you"? While you're at it, since you can afford
a helicopter, why not go buy a watch too.
Why on Fast Money is only guru
Dylan "Ravi-Shankar" Ratigan the only one allowed to wear a suit
jacket but Karen Finerman gets to wear a full outfit? Maybe it's
because if Jeff Mackey doesn't stop getting any bigger up top,
he'd start pulling an Incredible Hulk move and burst out of the
jacket like
David Banner if you don't agree with his pop or drop!
While talking about Mackey, when did he become a stand-up
comic? It seems
like he spends more time on those side splitting one liners than
on the
picks he talks about. What website does he write for? Sorry,
we're not hiring.
Even though it happened a while ago and self-induced comas do
happen once in awhile, we love the idea that Maryanne from
Gilligan's Island was arrested for
smoking MaryJane!
With the high price of oil and now gasoline, would it be too
much to ask to have a guy in uniform run out to your car, check
your oil, clean your windows and speak
in English asking you how much gas would you like? We'd also
appreciate not being called boss, my friend or American scum
devil once in awhile too.
It would be nice to leave our English to Gas Pump Attendant
dictionary home
once in a while.
So whatever happened with the stock Ambac? We haven't heard them
mentioned very much lately so we guess they hired the duck
back.

Taxes are due today and it's the first day of Pope Benedict XVI's
visit to the United States. Wow..could life get any better? The
Lord giveth and the taxman taketh away!
The Pope arrives in Washington DC today and will be met by
President Bush at the airport:
Let's hope the Pope-mobile seats two and it's GPS is really GOD.
Let's hope no one puts an Opie & Anthony Show WOW sticker on the
Pope-mobile.
Let's hope the Pope's not flying on American or an MD-80.
Let's hope the Pope took an extra set of Papal robes with him
just in case they lose his luggage.
Let's hope that Naomi Campbell is nowhere in site.
The Pope is expected to address many important issues concerning
American Catholics such as global warming, the humanitarian cost
of war and the priest sex scandal. Wow...keep your fingers
crossed, let's hope he doesn't tell us that there's no Santa
Claus or Easter Bunny.
Tomorrow is the Pope's 81th birthday. Hopefully, they won't
forget to take him to the Old Country Buffet for his free
birthday meal.
It's 4PM...the Pope has just landed in DC and all TV
stations are covering his arrival. This must be a really big
deal...they even pre-empted our queen Oprah's show.

Anyone else other than TDJR.COM
notice that Barack Obama's real, given, birth name is Barry?
Wow...Barry Obama...next we're going to find out that Hilary's
real first name is Shanikwa!!
Sources say, if Barack Obama gets elected,
the Secret Service will be changing the design of the special
secret lapel pin. It's gonna be hard to keep themselves
secret if they make the pin into a big piece of bling bling
hanging round their necks.
