from today's post, about Donny Two-Doll's asinine desire to become pope. thanks for reading! link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/44jNt2l (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
Donny Convict is what would happen if the seven Deadly Sins became a real boy. let’s check them off: pride — yup. greed — you betcha. lust — just ask Ivanka. envy — no shit. gluttony — have you seen his waistline? wrath — ducked any ketchup bottles lately? sloth — the lazy fuck drives his golf cart right up onto the green.

therefore, it only makes sense to fast-track this guy to be the next pope, right?

no, wait — on what planet would Donny Deadlysins be an appropriate spiritual leader to billions of Catholics?

I’m no religious scholar, so someone please help me out. are popes generally picked from a pool of revenge-obsessed grievance-babies who get off on inflicting cruelty on the helpless? seems like the entirely wrong skill set to me. maybe if the College of Cardinals were conclaving to pick the next antichrist, then they could credibly come up with Donny.
