LIVE BLOG POST FROM SAN DIEGO AIRPORT!
With the Pope's visit to the USA, the term "popemobile" is once again working its way into everyday conversation. I have always enjoyed hearing about the popemobile. As far as I know, there are only two figures in history who have demonstrated a consistent ability to maintain “mobile” status for their personal transportation. One of them is the Pope; the other is Batman. Sure, there are other Mobile's out there, like the BookMobile, and the Oscar-Meyer Wiener Hot Dog Mobile. The passengers of these vehicles, though, are either inanimate objects or just anonymous stiffs (with all due respect to librarians). Only the Pope and Batman can shoulder the weight of a Mobile bearing their title. Even the President of the United States doesn’t roll in a Mobile, although I think that the public would be accepting of a "George W-Mobile" to replace Air Force One.

Great topic for a blog post and from the airport to boot well played Gorge well played. After being crushed that I could not be a Swiss Guard(you have to be swiss I guess which is Lame) I often thought the driver of the Popemobile would be the next best thing. To the Pope and his perfered mode of transportation.
