Author! Author!

In perhaps the most blatant act of blasphemy since . . . well . . . since forever, Donald John Trump stood in a Baptist Church in Opelika, Alabama, yesterday signing Bibles - in much the same manner as an author would sign books for adoring fans at a Barnes and Noble.   Trump's actions with the Good Book drew a storm of comments from the press and public, though mercifully no nearby lightening strikes.

Defenders of Trump defiling the covers of the Holy Bible with his holy signature note that Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, both occupants of the Oval Office before Trump, had also autographed Bibles, but others suggested basic flaws in those defenses noting that Reagan had a raging ego similar to that of Trump, and Bush had a IQ that was somewhere down in the cellar near Trump's.

But, antecedents aside, there Trump stood, at the Southern Baptist Church in Opelika, Alabama, signing Bibles as if he, himself, was the author!

Donald Trump had picked a nice day to visit southeastern Alabama and the rural communities of Opelika and Beauregard which had been devastated by tornadoes last week.   God smiled down upon the fair-weather politician and refused to even stir a breeze that would muss Trump's magnificent comb-over - or dim the squint in the eyes of his underwear model wife.

But now that the Golden Idol has departed and is likely holed up on a championship golf course somewhere, the good ol' folks in rural Alabama will likely have some explaining to do to their beloved Old Testament God of Wrath.    Why did they choose to put another God before Him, a God well known for sins like lying, stealing, and adultery?  Their sniveling stories had better be good - because if they aren't,  that part of the country may be made great again with even more cyclones and holy embellishments like floods, fires, famines, and locusts!

Sacrilege on a scale that grand is going to demand a heavy price!
