While Sen. Barack Obama struggles to keep the public in the dark about the nature of his pro-UN Global Poverty Act, a recent "Bay Area Interfaith Leaders' Luncheon" was held to lobby for Senate passage of the bill, whose cost has been estimated at $845 billion. An actual witch who spoke at a "Pagan Pride" festival in San Francisco was one of the listed participants.

The witch, known as the "Elder Donald Frew" of the "Wiccan Community," was interviewed by the Reverend Don Lewis of "Witch School International" for a "reality" show called "Magick TV" and is shown talking about his involvement in the United Nations-backed United Religions Initiative. You can see the interview here. Magick TV features a "daily spell."

The article also mentions a Christian preschool in Long Island that sent home a handout encouraging the passage of this nonsense.....

An actual witch

An actual tooth fairy. An actual minotaur. etc.

I wonder if he would sink or float if you threw him in the Bay.

I’ve had some experience with these sort of fad-ish religious beliefs. Generally people who claim to be witches/satanists/druids are people who have no discernable talent, yet crave lots of attention. Being a member of an odd sect gives them that sense of being different....

I was in Salem last summer and three drop dead gorgeous blonds who were Wiccans walked by. How can such pretty women smell like a compost heap yet have hair like models?

Females become witches because they believe (incorrectly) that they have "a special sensitivity that others don't have".

Males become witches because they believe (correctly) that female witches are easy to get in the sack.

I had to look up Max Yasgur. Then I almost fell out of my chair!

Would you settle for a good dose of pneumonic plague? Cholera? Typhoid Fever? Talk about a starting point for an alternate history SF story!

Throw some water on him and see if he melts.

I like the tactical nuke, because it has such clean, wrath-of-God overtones.

Sadly, we are living the alternate history SF story. In the real history, after the hippies had been nipped in the bud, we would have won Viet Nam, the Soviet Union would have collapsed a decade earlier, and I'd be posting this from one of our Martian colonies.
