Well, that's a blessing! (It's probably better to be sound asleep, when that time comes.)

What a strange commentary on our times.
One of the only prominent American voices reacting with the appropriate degree of disgust to a horrifying video of the Dalai Lama appearing to abuse a young boy is rapper Cardi B.
If you haven't seen the viral footage of the Dalai Lama's February event in northern India – you should. It's shocking and the world cannot look away.
The video shows the 87-year-old spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, considered by his followers to be the living embodiment of the virtues of the religion and the reincarnation of the living Buddha, kissing a child on the lips and then asking the boy to 'suck my tongue.'
We must scream that this was not just flat out wrong, it appears to be sexual abuse.
Cardi B tweeted in response to the sick display, 'This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children.'
And the singer's reward for stating this obvious and vital truth? She was pilloried on social media, threatened in her direct messages, and made out to be some kind of bigot.
While I may blanch at her lyrics – I applaud her courage. But I ask: where is the chorus?
Why is the performer of WAP (If you don't know it – Google it) among few public people expressing fitting moral outrage and revulsion?
Meanwhile, there are crickets from pro-Tibet Hollywood celebrities, like actor Richard Gere, who attended the Dalai Lama's 87th birthday party last year in India.
Over at the New York Times, there is one lousy straight news report with the bizarrely milquetoast headline: 'Dalai Lama Apologizes Over an Exchange With a Boy'

The Dalai Lama is who he is by virtue of reincarnation. His oddities are irrelevant to that. He cannot be deposed. That said he has obviously had a stroke and his speech is disjointed. his mind is slipping gears. The ominous thing is that when he dies the Chinese government says it will appoint his successor. That will not be accepted by Tibetans and they will find his reincarnation in a few years. The Chinese will have then to imprison or kill the reincarnated Dalai Lama.
I honestly don’t know what to think after seeing him do that
I was repulsed. I have no idea if he has always been like this or not. But whomever takes care of him needs to take him off stage asap. The thought of any old person asking a child to such their tongue makes me want to heave.
I think most people are NOT understanding that this sort of humor and behavior with people - children included - isn’t that unusual in Indonesia.
Indonesia barely has any law protecting children.
This is where Obama comes from.
I saw Biden touch a little girls chest on stage. Nothing happened.
The pope thinks he is Jesus on earth. His followers would let him get away with it
It's gross and creepy.
Also, is that the whole video clip? Lord I hope so 😱.
They’d be praising the fake pope and the fake prez for being brave. Every perv act is labeled brave.
And the buggery in (p)islam is still mostly looked at with stone cold silence.
Do an internet search for “The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan.”
The Pope is NOT thought to be Jesus on earth.
Funny how they are outraged about this but not about pervs asking kids to suck their - or each others’ - dicks...
“If the Pope asked a child to ‘suck’ his tongue, he wouldn’t be the Pope anymore.”
WHAT?????
R U kidding me????
The pope has done FAR WORSE and not a peep from his peeps.
The pope is a DOPE! All of his followers (Catholics who REFUSE to denounce him) are DOPES as well.
They are just as bad as the so-called “good” Muslims who REFUSE to denounce the terrorists.
It looks like the Dali Lama is qualified to wear a Catholic collar.
