Taking you around the internet for your afternoon enjoyment.

The Pope’s coming to America: But his tour dates have not been confirmed. We’d love it if the Pope played Fenway. If it’s good enough for the Boss, it’s good enough for the Pope. [WCVB]

Further adventures in talk radio: While Howie Carr packs his boxes for a midnight escape from WRKO, convicted felon and Rhode Island folk-hero Vincent “Buddy” Cianci prepares to take the microphone at WPRO in Rhode Island. Rhode Islanders are so excited, WPRO even has a countdown clock on their website. [630WPRO.com]
