While some are letting out a sigh of relief that the last of the presidential debates — and the prime time nastiness thatβs accompanied them — is over, part of me will miss the running debate commentary of @onegroovynun.

If thereβs a tweet that describes how most voters feel this presidential election season, Sister Miriam James captured it here:

I first heard about her tweets from Michele Dunne, a lay Franciscan during a Washington reception. If I need a laugh and distraction from some of the particularly disagreeable language, egregious allegations and bitterness the election has sown, a quick glance at @onegroovynun and her, perhaps, unintentional Twitter ministry makes me smile, at least briefly.
Her low-budget cast of characters employs sidekick Sister Mary and various bobbleheads of saints of the pope to make her point.
