Via Sploid comes a story in which an Oklahoma priest enthuses thusly about the new pope:
"He's going to have a German mentality of leadership: Either get on the train or get off the track."
Whole thing here.
Maybe it's just me, but the German/train stuff seems a bit off...

I hope they let it slide...it was boneheaded, not mean-spirited.

It could have been worse. How about: "Get on the train or BANG, a bullet in your head!"
Just kidding.

"It could have been worse. How about: 'Get on the train or BANG, a bullet in your head!'"
Or... Get on the train AND get a free shower.
Mutti, I smell peaches.

I hope this pope doesn't get stuck with the nickname of "Boxcar Benny."

Here's to hoping the new pope doesn't tell randy priests to go take cold showers, then.

Italian train engineers still apologize when the trains are late. I was just there 3 weeks ago, and at every other stop they'd say "we baig'a you pah'don, thee tren eeza two meenots a'late a." Scary. The Metro drivers in DC don't give a rats ass if they're two HOURS late.
His grand daughter is a hot piece of ass though. I'd vote for her.

According to Jon Stewart, the scandal with Ratzinger isn't that he was in the Hitler Youth. It's that he might have been in it for the youths.

There is something inherently wrong with a German saying "get on the train"
