Order your Benedict XVI mug today!

Julie, at Happy Catholic, has posted this item, which includes a picture of a coffee mug -- or in my case, a hot-chocolate mug -- now available for purchase through an organization called the Pope Benedict XVI Fan Club. I assume membership in the Club does not require being Catholic, because I think I might want to join it myself. At the very least, I am going to order one of these mugs. (The quote about the cafeteria being closed is taken from a disparaging column written a few days ago by Maureen Dowd. Whenever I sip cocoa from this mug, I'll think of it as a way of thumbing my nose at her.)
