Happy Friday.

Pope Francis personally called his delivery guy to cancel his Buenos Aires newspaper subscription: "Seriously, it’s Jorge Bergoglio, I’m calling you from Rome."

The Obama administration hopes to bring NSA-style scanning of email, web traffic "closer to ordinary U.S. residents without triggering an outcry from privacy advocates" by using DHS as a middleman.

This sounds pretty far-fetched, though it's not hard to believe that neither man would yield when it came time to decide who would get to sit in the big chair.

Speaker Boehner's super-PAC has launched its first 2014 ads against Democrats who voted against the Ryan budget.

And in "It's a Weird, Weird World" news, Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo have submitted an amicus brief in the Prop 8 case (PDF) arguing in favor of marriage equality. It's kinduva weird brief.
