Joel Osteen as House Chaplin Satire Goes Viral
Yesterday, I posted a satirical post in GD spoofing Paul Ryan in the House Chaplain firing. It proposed that he was nominating mega-church Prosperity Gospel pastor Joel Osteen to the post. It got a few laughs here. But, someone found it and posted it on Twitter, where it has now been reposted over 1700 times. DU posts apparently have legs.
