Apologize, Benny, more! more!

Doesn’t Hallmark make a special card that says “For those occasions when you just can't apologize too much.”

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An al Qaeda-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed," as protesters raged across the Muslim world to demand more of an apology from the pontiff for his remarks about Islam and violence.

The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying . ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

All fine and good. As long as nobody is being unreasonable.

Is "worshipper of the cross" supposed to be some kind of insult? Isn't that his job? He is the Pope after all. Next they'll call him a dirty Catholic!

If my choice is conversion or death, I'll take conversion. And you know my conversion is going to be soooo sincere.

And I'm not even touching the spilled liquor comment. Them's fightin' words. But they do remind me of that old Eric Burdon song....I just checked the lyrics. Man, that song is druggy, dude.
