Let's have an iPodding Pope
The odds of the conclave of cardinals electing a less authoritarian Pope are not looking good, what with Cardinal Ratzinger, a hardline ex Hitler Youth member appearing to have at least 50 of the 77 votes required, but it looks like some of the cardinals aren't going to spend all their time in prayer.
One confessed to taking along some "light reading" - Jane Austen rather than Dan Brown - and some were spotted with CD players. Surely at least one must have an iPod, although those white earphones would tend to be a dead giveaway against all that red. An iPod would be sufficient evidence, in our opinion, of a progressive individual. He'd get our vote.

To link the ownership with the being of a progressive individual would be fallacy. Didn't you read about your president owning an iPod?
By the way, the motherchurch IS using the iconography and media of the 'progressive individual' to spread the message. Be warned! Check f.i. The Catholic Insider
