Do you suppose the pomp and circumstance will rival Diana's? I mean, he ain't dead yet. They have to bury him I think it's like 4-6 days after death. Then the cardinals gotta do the deliberating thing, which can take like another 10 days (I know I'm rough guesstimating the timelines). So once the dude departs (if they let him, that is), it's another 2-3 weeks of perpetually breaking pope news on the 24/7 news cycle.

That pretty much covers the lead up to British elections, no?

Don't look at that man behind the curtain...
