One of my weeklies has a slightly interesting thought from a local minister: "Where do you see yourself in the Christmas story? Would you be Mary, Joseph or Jesus?"
Most teabaggers would see this question and think, "Jesus. I would be Jesus without question."
In reality, almost all teabaggers should see themselves as King Herod.

But they'd actually just be an anonymous foot soldier from Gaul, stationed in this gods-forsaken backwater, forced to do the bidding of some barbarian king, killing a few of his subjects & their kids along the way to keep them in line.

But Trump could well turn out to be a Herod if given the opportunity.

Oh wait . . . that's not what you meant, was it.

But he works too. Good call.
