Teabags for Obama, but Kittens for the Pope
My mother has recently mailed a teabag to Obama. I believe it was Constant Comment, or perhaps an Earl Grey. It’s not that she wants Mr. O. to sit down and have a nice cuppa. It’s that for some reason she’s upset over the massive spending orgy Obama and his cronies are presiding over and what that has done to her life savings (what life savings?)
I haven’t sent a teabag. It’s not just that I don’t know where my next teabag is coming from and I’m certainly not going to send one to some fellow I didn’t even vote for and who can afford to buy his own darn teabag.
It’s just that it seems so trivial to complain about some mere massive crushing national debt laid on our grandchildren and great-grandchildren when there are more serious reasons to be upset with Obama such as use of tax dollars to fund abortions. Since abortion is the number #1 cause of death for Black children— nearly one out of every two Black children dies from an abortion— I’d kind of expected better from a Black president who says he is a Christian.
Besides the teabags-for-Obama campaign, there is also some move afoot by internet nerds to send condoms to Pope Benedict, as a protest of the fact that the pope has not changed the Catholic church’s moral teaching regarding chastity and replaced it with a ‘well, so long as you use a condom’ policy. Since the pope does not have the authority to change the moral teachings of the church, one doesn’t know why the nerds are so upset, but that’s nerds for you.
Even if the Pope were not celibate and Catholic, it’s doubtful that a man of his advanced years won’t have much use for a million condoms, so I don’t know what to send him. A teabag? I don’t know if the Pope even drinks tea. I think he likes Fanta, but sending him Fantas through the mail might not be a good idea, the post office would get it all shaken up and when the pontiff opens a can he will get soda all over his fancy Pope clothes.
But I know what the Pope really wants— kittens! It’s not just that the Pope is a well-known cat lover, or that the Pope’s cat Chico has written a book about him.
It’s that my cat Sarah Palin has just had a litter of kittens. Cute ones. I think John McCain may be the father. My cat John McCain, that is, not the other one.
I’m not going to mail the Pope the actual kittens, I’m getting attached to them and besides the Pope is not allowed to keep cats in the Vatican. I’m just sending him pictures. Why don’t YOU send the Pope pictures of YOUR cats? You know, in order to send the message that you support the right of the Pope to stay Catholic, unlike the condom nerds who want to make him change his religion.
It’s possible that there may be a kitten picture following these words. Or not. To see my cat picture album, go to http://www.ipernity.com/doc/36786/4569744/in/album/119130
