JEDI. KNIGHT. SAME DIFFERENCE.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Realizing, of course, that this kind of news doesn\u2019t technically fall within the \u201creligion\/and\/or\/spirituality\u201d category, it was just too darn cute for this blogger (with a soft spot for this particular family) to resist.<\/p>\n

On Thursday at the British ambassador to the Republic of Ireland\u2019s official residence in Dublin, yer man Bono became an honorary knight of the British Empire. (The intrepid AP scribe Shawn Pogatchnik\u2019s report to follow below.)<\/p>\n

The cutest moment, reported by Shawn and U2.com, came when 5-year-old John Hewson, Bono and Ali\u2019s youngest child, expressed his disappointment when Daddy received a couple of pins, but no light saber. Apparently, the youngest Hewson thought Pop was being made a Jedi Knight. Daaaaaaaaaaaarling. I love it. <\/p>\n
