That's kinda the point.
But seriously, there have been so many maps and so much fuss about security zones and street closures and travel restrictions and searches, etc., that the city is more bewildered than usual going into lock-down mode for Popefest. I had been planning to go for the Pope's speech on Independence Mall, but at this point my attitude is, as the map suggests, "Fuck that."
GAH!

Personally, I am
delighted that the Poe has made the trip...
I'm delighted by
anything that helps to preempt
Trump TV on the cable news channels...

I to am happy for the return of old Edgar be it by resurrection or by zombification. Just in time to Halloween too.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

One of my childhood favorites! Poe taught me how to write.*
*Then I had to unlearn everything Poe taught me and learn how to write for a 20th Century audience.

Good heavens! What is all this papal crap? Who gives a shit? If the A of C visited - who cares? If the D Lama visited - same thing. But we have to have wall to wall ring kissing just because this papal chap stops by? What is this fascination with the Roman church that turns this country batshit crazy?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

It's the American fascination with monarchs and emperors and all that. It's kind of like people queuing up to see Tom Cruise or Donald Trump.

You must have His Holiness confused with the "community organizer" from Chicago
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

It's a widely keep secret but the pope hates all Muslims born in Kenya. That's how good christians roll.
