Why JPII is a cool guy ...

... like you needed proof. That's Bono of U2 on the left, by the way.

And here's an article about Bono's meeting with President Bush. He's kind of pretentious but he's trying to do some good with his celebrity. This is the best part:

Bono said he doesn't support any president from the left or the right, but he has a hard time criticizing Bush after he has sent the money to Africa. He said he's made it clear that he doesn't support the war in Iraq, but he doesn't campaign against it because his main priority is helping the poor and disadvantaged.

"I work for them," Bono said. "If me not shooting my mouth off about the war in Iraq is the price I pay, then I'm prepared to pay it."

But, he added, "I'm a big-mouthed Irish rock star. Of course it frustrates me."

I pray that he sticks to his Catholic upbringing and fights for right.
Also, U2 has made some good music.
