This is sooooo funny!!! Can any of the other candidates claim goodness? Maybe that should be a new criteria for running…HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Thanks for this political announcement (bit of humor)!
I saw this episode last Sunday. And you know…in all truth…Ralph just might pull it off. He couldn’t be any worse than the others who are running!
I saw it on Sunday too and then a colleague forwarded me the youtube clip. There is something to the kid … reminds me of the line in the Rule of Saint Benedict: “the Lord often reveals what is better to the younger” (chapter 3) … goodness is definitely a platform I’d support 100%.
Sometimes when people see these sort of things, they think of them as spoofs. It seems to be, unfortunately, that politics these days is little more than a comedy of cartoon characters anyway. We are encouraged to go out and vote, but do we really have any choices? I’m personally a little tired of going from bad to worse.
Anyway, I’ll step off my soapbox. Thanks for the youtube posting. It was really cute. Have you all ever seen the Simpson’s episode when Bart and Homer convert to Catholicism? That was absolutely hilarious! I think you can access parts of it on the internet. I’m not sure where though.
Cheers!
