No POPE for YOU...come back...One Day
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=1&u=/ap/20050418/ap_on_re_eu/pope&sid=84439559

VATICAN CITY - Black smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel's chimney Monday evening, signaling that the cardinals sequestered inside for the first papal conclave of the new millennium failed to elect a new pope.


The black smoke meant the 115 voting cardinal "princes" of the church would retire for the night and return to the chapel Tuesday morning for more balloting in their search for a successor to Pope John Paul II.


If two morning ballots fail to produce a pope, the cardinals could hold two more votes Tuesday afternoon.


Some 40,000 people who packed St. Peter's Square to stare at the stovepipe jutting from the chapel roof shouted, "It's black! It's black!" and snapped photos with their cell phones.

5. We cannot afford to end this day with a Pope gap!

Get Tom DeLay on the phone! Call Congress into emergency session!

It is the medical opinion of Bill Frist that Pope John Paul is not actually dead.

If the Conclave won't act, we will!
