Pope
Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass at the Yankee Stadium on Sunday from a white altar perched over second base. Members of the clergy believe there was a hidden message for them with the location of the altar; apparently, second base is how far they can get when they are on a “date.”

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, nine in 10 Americans now give the economy a negative rating. The only one happy with the economy was the one selling Pope merchandise.

McCain
According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, John McCain only crossed the aisle to the Democratic side three times in 26 years. And that because he needed to go to the bathroom and the Republican one was taken by Larry Craig.

Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick became the first female to win a race in IndyCar history Sunday. Apparently, unlike Hillary, she had the right number of delegates.
