We cats actually have a copy of The Book of Mormon. We stole it last time we stayed in a Marriott, and we keep it in the drawer of our guest bedroom's nightstand as a joke for visiting friends.
But see, that's the point — it's a joke.
That's all The Book of Mormon can be, because it's too weird and wacky to a). read, and b). take seriously. Honestly, folks, we don't see a whole lot of difference between Mormonism and Scientology. As Walter Cronkite used to say, that's the way it is.
So! What are we to make of this huge dust-up between two of the country's most incredibly major Mormons, Harry Reid and Willard Mitt Romney?? Are major Mormons allowed to fight like this? Is it traitorous to the church, or is it considered to be, um, manly?
We cats have no idea. But as we're good Americans, there are a couple of things that we're absolutely sure of:
1. If somebody wants to be President, he (or she) should be willing to release years and years of tax returns. Why? Because a Governor from Michigan named George Romney started the trend.
2. Anybody who wants to be President should be willing to show voters that he shoulders the same burdens to society, even if he makes zillions of dollars more than they do.
3. Finally, and most important, if Willard Mitt Romney wants to shut Harry Reid up, all he has to do is release his tax returns.
