awroo?

Okay, I'm not Catholic, so I might be wrong, but doesn't this CNN story seem a little backwards? "Bush then presented the pope with the medal, calling John Paul "a devoted servant of God.""

I also liked, "It was the third meeting between the two men, and the president's schedule was adjusted to accommodate it, the senior administration official said."

what was he thinking?

I've got to stop reading news now, but in this article in the Trib describing how cabs in Chicago have to take credit cards (finally!), there's this anecdote:

Holmes said drivers also have had problems when someone pays with an invalid card.

One local driver took a rider to Colorado, and he paid the $2,200 fare with a credit card. The card was stolen, Holmes said, and the driver had to absorb the loss.

No kidding!
