Even in her "old age" she's hot.

Unlike Pope Francis, I believe that air-conditioning and the capitalists responsible for the technology are blessings to the world.
Perhaps the head of the Catholic Church, who condemned "the increasing use and power of air-conditioning" last week in a market-bashing encyclical, is unaware of the pioneering private company that has donated its time, energy and innovative heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment to the Vatican's most famous edifice for more than a decade.
That's right. While the pontiff sanctimoniously attacks "those who are obsessed with maximizing profits," Carrier Corporation — a $13 billion for-profit company with 43,000 employees worldwide (now a unit of U.S.-based United Technologies Corp.) — ensures that the air in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel stays clean and cool.
Last fall, Carrier unveiled a groundbreaking HVAC system for the Vatican to help preserve Michelangelo's masterpieces against pollution caused by the estimated six million visitors who descend on the Sistine Chapel every year to see its famous frescoes.
As the company described it, their new solution "uses two Carrier AquaForce(r) 30XWV water-cooled chillers with Greenspeed(r) intelligence, each with 580 kilowatts of capacity. It leverages specially designed software and components, as well as patented, energy-saving technologies to maintain optimal climate conditions for the protection of the paintings within the chapel." State-of-the-art intelligent controls "anticipate visitor levels and adjust its performance intuitively." It also "delivers twice the efficiency and three times the capacity of the former system, which was built and installed by Carrier in the early 1990s."

Air Conditioning Ping!
The church, along with the GOP, appears to have a death wish.
Is the Dope Catholic, and South American, and named “Francis”?
Michelle certainly didn’t mince any words, good for her.
Yeah, Malkin 1 Pope 0.
Even in her "old age" she's hot.
BUMP :-)
It was Willis Carrier whose invention moderated the summer swamp that once was Washington DC. It was air conditioned buildings which allowed Congress to become a year-round meddlesome institution.
Read it all! by Michelle Malkin making lots of common sense here
Yeah, I just can’t figure out if it’s theirs or ours...
This is why I love Michelle Malkin.
It is SOOOOOO disgusting to me that the pope calls himself “Catholic” when the Catholic Canon is based on Reason and Logic (Natural Laws—God’s Works) along with God’s Word, the Bible.
To remove Reason from Faith is VERY unCatholic.....it is irrational Marxism and paganism and voodooism and a promotion of Blind Faith (evil).
For the Pope to not understand the simple truth and brilliant minds of Adam Smith and F.A. Hayek is very disturbing, esp. when he is adopting the radical, evil ideology of the degenerate Marx.
Thank you Michelle, air conditioning is one of the unsung advances of the past 100 years.
The fact that the Pope has become “one of them” is unsettling. The Church can sometimes interpret science the wrong way.
Unfortunately, it does not right itself for hundreds of years.
The Pope should not attack air-conditioning. His head is so far up his arse it must be pretty hot in there.
Malkin is brilliant.
This Pope sucks.
/a (very recently turned) former Catholic
Old age? Guess that makes me ancient...
ALL HAIL WILLIS!
ROFL! Right on, I needed that laugh.
