Newsweek is planning a live Webcast of Pope Benedict XVI's first visit to the United States as pontiff next month.

Dubbed Newsweek's "Popecast" by video producer and contributing editor Tammy Haddad, the magazine will offer live streaming coverage of the Washington, D.C. portion of Benedict's trip, slated for April 15-20. The Webcast will be anchored by Newsweek editor Jon Meacham.

"It's all about the pageantry," says Haddad, a former top producer MSNBC who was retained by Newsweek last fall to map out its video coverage online.

Benedict is scheduled to visit the White House on April 16, a Washington Nationals game on April 17, then New York, where he will speak at the United Nations on April 18, visit Ground Zero and finally Yankee Stadium on April 20.

If the pope is going to ride around in his terrarium truck, he simply must wear his big venus flytrap hat.

This week on more useless TV, the pope visits the set of "Pimp my ride"! Will the pope mobile survive the total rebling-ification??? Tune in and watch.

I keep wondering... if someone shakes that pope-mobile, will little flakes of snow come drifting down?

I keep seeing redundancy in that image.
