Yesterday’s TBR Sunday Read was a letter by Liberian President Joseph Boakai, offering a response to his meeting last week at the White House with Donald Trump. In that meeting, which inspired jeering headlines around the world, Trump praised Boakai for his mastery of English—which happens to be the official language of Liberia.

In the letter—which, I should clarify, was written by me and not President Boakai—the Liberian generously offered to teach Trump English. Within 24 hours of its publication, the letter went viral—with many readers believing it to be authentic.

How many? A sufficient number to impel the fact-checking website Snopes to debunk it.

“Don't fall for claim Liberian president wrote letter offering to teach Trump English,” read the Snopes headline, with the subhead, “Andy Borowitz, who made a career of writing satire, has struck again.”

2. Andy's satire is always right there - right on the edge of what could pass for truth.

It's a thing of beauty.

3. I'm technically "white" but Mediterranean and that pale skin reminds me of an albino snake.

To paraphrase Orrex: "Is that ghost even alive?" Or Did Earl Scheib substitute white for orange?
