VABills Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 CNN and FOX at least have live chimney cams setup from Rome. mms://a817.l1387338629.c13873.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/817/13873/v0001/reflector:38629
Alaska Darin Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 At least that's newsworthy, to be perfectly honest.
VABills Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 Looks like the first vote was inconclusive.
/dev/null Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 chimneycam is at least more informative than watching FoxNews/CNN/MSNBC/etc talk out their arse for 24 hours a day about who the next Pope might be
nobody Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I can imagine that CNN/ FOXnews etc. will be debating for hours what color the smoke really is and what it means in terms of who will get elected. 'Well Bill I see a hint of cocoa color in the smoke which leads me to believe that the S.American cardinal has an edge in votes right now.'

KRC Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 That looks like white smoke to me. 308929[/snapback] Any bells? No bells, no Pope.

UConn James Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Any bells? No bells, no Pope. 308939[/snapback] I must've been jumping to conclusions.
KRC Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I must've been jumping to conclusions. 308966[/snapback] No, you were correct. That was pretty quick. I know people expected a quick result, but I didn't think that anyone thought it would be this quick.

Perhaps he saw Ratzinger as a de facto continuation of JPII's papacy. B/c that's what it is.

JPII was born during an eclipse and his funeral occured during one St Malachy
