President Tweety Bird and the Art of the Self-Pardon

Las Vegas has a large Mormon population and last Sunday a LDS friend dropped by to tell me that I should inform the Pope to follow the Mormon example by suggesting a 10 day fast from social media for all women and children.

Maybe because Goodreads is my only social media, I ecumenically agreed that this was an absolutely brilliant idea to cleanse the soul of so much gibberish while at the same time wondering to myself, "why did they not include the men?" Okay, I already knew the answer to that one.

Still, this is truly worthy of serious consideration if it were expanded to include everyone from transgenders to Arctic dwarfs.

However, I do not know the Pope. Otherwise, I would tell him a thing or two. But I do have an acquaintance with some very imposing credentials who is a bigwig at the Vatican Apostolic Library,

Popes come and go. I believe this man has served at least three of them. This is as close as I will ever get. When I see him next time, I will pass along this brilliant proposal that would give us Catholics more alternatives during the Lenten season.

Instead of red meat, poker and sugar babies, I could give up Goodreads.

Just kidding about those sugar babies. They are but a figment of my sugar daddy imagination.

No one is above the law nor above being the victim of a Trump tweet, but unfortunately, His Hindness claims to be a Presbyterian. I imagine that if the Presbyterians kicked up their heels to dance a jig along with this Mormon social media fast, The President would pardon himself faster than a Thanksgiving turkey.

Besides, if Mr. Tweety Bird fasted from social media during the Lenten season, America's hysterical 24/7 news media would have to survive without headlines until after Easter dinner. Just one more reason to support this Mormon bull.
