Skull & Bones & Cross

Of course this won't get much mention, but one more piece of the puzzle, one more brick in the wall, one more section of the fresco is washed clean to reveal that - oh, of course. The Neocons have managed to install themselves a Pope.

Neil Bush, the president's controversial younger brother, six years ago joined the cardinal who this week became Pope Benedict XVI as a founding board member of a little known Swiss ecumenical foundation... The charter members of the board were all well-known international religious figures, except for Bush...

Now, really. Must every powerful leader who comes along today, whether political, religious, or corporate, be in some way connected to the Bush family? Is it some sort of prerequisite? I swear, I don't know which is worse sometimes: not knowing what sort of Machiavellian schemes they get up to; or actually being aware of it.
