Arse. New pope.

Ratzinger's got the post.

Nobody expects the German Inquisition. Here's hoping he doesn't stick around long. I was really, really hoping for the blokey from Mexico.

I was surprised they went for Ratzinger - favourites don't usually get it. Thought they'd go for a Latin American, that being their biggest constituency. Maybe next time. I guess it's the old guard circling the wagons. Still, he's 78, how long can he last?
