Habemus papam

On highway 580 in Richmond, California, this morning, the smoke was definitely white.

So tell me this: I remember in the papal elections 26 years ago that there was confusion - is the smoke white? Is it black? Geez, I don't know. It looks kind of gray.

The Vatican, worth trillions, had 26 years to put the best and brightest on a simple task: make the white smoke look really white, make the black smoke look really black. Disney can set off fireworks that look like Mickey Mouse. It's 2005, make the smoke work. Today it was: Is it black, is it white. It's sort of gray...

Hey, if they can crank it out at a factory in Berkeley, they can do it in Rome!
