Apparently he wisely washed their feet first!
And who wouldn't? I mean, if you're into kissing the feet of some dude who walked to Rome from Kabul, you'd be well advised to give those feet a good scrub first, wouldn't you?
The think tank here at falling downs couldn't be more aboard with the Pope's humanitarianism; we truly are all brothers, are we not? The Catholic, the Hindu, the Muslim, the Jew… we are all children of the same God.
But it might take some time for the general public to get on the feel-good bandwagon, especially after that latest business in Brussels, and in the interval I sense a business opportunity.
Trump may think he's gonna build a fence down the middle of the Rio Grande, but it's an engineering challenge of a completely different order of magnitude to build one down the middle of the Adriatic Sea. As in, it ain't gonna happen in our lifetimes. Even the Israelis, wall-builders extraordinaire, couldn't pull that off.
That means the Adriatic will be wide open for the foreseeable future. Wide open for what, you ask? Wide open for stuffing your fifty foot Donzi with a couple of dozen desperate migrants and heading for Otranto or Brindisi with those triple supercharged big-blocks at redline!
Did you realize that it's hardly fifty miles from Albania to Italy at the narrowest point in the Adriatic? And there's nothing in the Italian navy that's gonna get near you. True, they could blow you up good with a heat-seeking missile, but imagine the global headlines on that!
It'll never happen.
So I figure, as long as you have a fast enough fast-boat, you're good to go!
