Northern China was hit the other day by ferocious sandstorms. In the United States, we just call that "kids hitting the beach for spring break".
Well, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Palm Sunday in St. Peter's Square amid the palm-waving crowds. The Vatican couldn't come up with a donkey for the pope to ride but that's okay. The pope's quite capable of making ass out of himself.

Sarah Palin appeared at a Tea Party rally in Nevada where she told her audience that Senator Harry Reid has some explaining to do over his vote for Health Reform.

About Me
- Wendel Potter
- My writing career took off in 1979 and it continues to roll. I've written comedy for Joan Rivers, Jay Leno, Rodney Dangerfield, and the Yakov Smirnoff Show. I was a weekly columnist for a Nebraska newspaper for 10 years. Several of my short stories have been published in a national magazine, Woman's World. This blog is a return to old columns dear to my heart and new essays that are currently ideas on a close horizon. I hope we can become friends.
