Police in Nigeria are holding a goat handed to them by a vigilante group, which said it was a car thief who had used witchcraft to change shape. Many Nigerians believe that magicians can turn themselves into goats.

It’s surreal and bizarre what dumb, uneducated, superstitious people can be made to believe. Then they go out and victimize poor innocent animals and people and elect unqualified candidates as president. It’s horrible.

Hey, that's so easy even I know the answer: to educate goats to steal cars.

It's the culturally-sensitive thing to do.

"Many Nigerians believe that magicians can turn themselves into goats."

And why not? Millions of jackasses have assumed human form and have taken over the United States.

Having once owned a goat I can understand why most of the world’s religions have a goat as the image of Satan.

That seems to be changing however. I think the new face of Satan will be Henry Waxman...

If so it will be an improvement over the jackasses named so far -- particularly the SOS position -- and one helluva sight more honest.

You might find the inclusion of a goat in this Hitler rant mildly amusing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X5AjMxpiuU
