With the price tag on the Washington end of the papal trip topping $3 million, I guess everyone has to pitch in…Well, this gem is actually by way of Thomas Peters, aka the American Papist, and a friend who sent him the snap after choir practice at the National Shrine in DC. (He’ll be singing Vespers for His Holiness and the bishops.) No idea who it really is. But I recall there was a guy–in LA, I think–who did a mean doppelganger of JPII and used to make some extra coin posing in a Ferrari whenever John Paul came to town. Wonder what happened to him. Maybe he was like the picture of Dorian Gray.
This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:
Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)
…or something like this:
The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickies to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

Sadly, it’s just a cardboard cutout, not a papal stunt double.
