Oh noes! Not JESUS!

Georgetown University hid a religious inscription representing the name of Jesus during President Obama's address there Tuesday, FOXNews.com has confirmed, because White House staff asked the school to cover up all religious symbols and signs while the president was on stage.

I'm not sure if this is because Obama might burst into flames from the proximity, or if his tongue-bathing fans might run, screaming, "My eyes!!!!1!" at the sight of viewing something religious. I'm disappointed that Georgetown gave in on this, and I'm hoping that Pope Benedict XVI gives both the university and whoever ends up being the next US ambassador* to the Vatican a good thwacking on the head with a scepter.

*I meant to write this up a few days ago - there was a news article announcing the Vatican had rejected Caroline Kennedy as an ambassador, but the Vatican has since made a statement that it wasn't true. Is anyone else looking forward to when the Pope meets Obama?  I'm sure the Pope will be gracious, I'm not sure if Obama can restrain himself enough to keep from giving the Pope a sly middle finger.  And I'm sure Obama won't be apologizing for America's arrogance.
