the E.M.T.s will be there sometime between the hours of noon and the funeral (Five to 10 years’ waving experience)

November 2021

“President Biden over the weekend visited the Vatican, where he gave Pope Francis a coin and parted ways by saying, ‘God love ya.’ Yeah, he does. Pretty sure that’s the papal job description on LinkedIn: ‘God love ya. Must be good with crowds. Some Latin required. Five to 10 years’ waving experience.’” —Stephen Colbert

“Biden has gotten flack from right-wing Catholic bishops for being pro-choice, but during the meeting, the pope said he should keep receiving communion, and called Biden ‘a good Catholic.’ OK, that’s legit. That’s legit. That’s the stamp of approval right there. The pope telling you you’re a good Catholic is like a bear telling you you’re good at pooping in the woods.” —Stephen Colbert

“Climate change was one of the main things on the agenda, and the G20 leaders took a bold stand, pledging to achieve global net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by or around midcentury. That doesn’t sound very urgent. It’s like calling 9-1-1 and having the operator tell you the E.M.T.s will be there sometime between the hours of noon and the funeral.” —Stephen Colbert

“The summit wrapped with a group of leaders symbolically tossing coins into Rome’s famed Trevi fountain. Not a great sign when global cooperation has reached the stage of ‘wish!’” —Stephen Colbert
