Ratz on Geese

Do our feathered friends give Pope Benedict the warm and fuzzies? PETA hopes so. MSNBC reports that the group is claiming him as an animal-rights supporter, citing comments he made three years ago about the poor treatment of geese and the "degrading of living creatures to a commodity." But don't get too excited:

"We're not expecting him to appear in one of our 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' ads," a PETA spokesman told The Scoop.

Look, unless those geese are going to be playing tic-tac-toe at the Trop, then I've got no use for them.

Will Pope Benedict cause a rift between the homosexual and animal rights activists? Only time will tell.

Same Pope time. Same Pope channel.

It's too late. Ask Pim Fortuyn!

Any Bishop of Rome has to be pro-goose. The Capitoline Geese saved the City once, right?
