Not the Oba, but definitely the Saint
Others are observing that some people would love to name Oba Saint Stanley Tookie Williams, the Redeemed Martyr, be elevated to true sainthoold. The Billingsgate Journal "reports":
BILLINGSGATE JOURNAL (Dateline Vatican City)
BULLETIN: Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, the Papal Nuncio who represents the Pope in the United States, declared that because of the bed-side conversion of Tookie Williams, he is recommending to Pope Benedict XVI that the beatification process that will ultimately raise Tookie to sainthood begin immediately. Perhaps influenced by such notary sojacs as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Willie Brown and Snoop Dogg, all of unquestionable moral makeup, the Papal Nuncio could hardly wait to declare December 13 as Saint Tookies Day.
I'm beginning to think that it may be easier to make Williams a Catholic Saint than it will be to make him the permanent Oba of all Kwanzaa celebrations.
