Popey guy says something decent, maybe

NY Times story:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI listened to Gypsies recount their way of life at a first-ever papal audience for them at the Vatican on Saturday, decried their persecution by the Nazis during World War II and called on Europe to help end centuries of rejection for the Roma people.
Meh. Maybe he means this, maybe he doesn't. Who knows what this hateful old hypocrite really thinks about anything? But I've been considering the plight of the Roma, the Gypsies.

We gave Israel to the Jews, didn't we? Well, I say we give Utah to the Roma! I think it's time these people had their own country (or state, at least). We'll just push the Mormons out and let the Roma in -- it will be an easy, graceful thing. There shouldn't be any problems. And finally the poor Roma will have a home.

Let's start a Utah for the Roma movement. Waddaya say?
