Some People Kinda Don't Like Witches




The more I think of Halloween, the more I giggle about Delaware. It's really gotten out of hand. Check out the SNL Skit.

Christine O'Donnell, a reformed witch, now a Teapublican, is desperately trying to regain her lead, if she ever had one.

If you ever thought all that crazy experimental shit you did in college would never come back to haunt you. . . well, take heed of O'Donnell!

I mean, you have to laugh your ass off when you hear her commercial that begins, "I'm not a witch. . . " I myself like to put it in English working class accent (think Monty Python and the Holy Grail).

What forces a candidate to air a rebuttal commercial that begins with those words?

I can think of one million ways to begin an ad. "I'm not a witch" is not one of them, nor would it enter an ad in any way.

It reminds me of another witch.

Former PA State Representative Tracy Seyfert, a Republican (there were no Tea partiers way back then) from Crawford County.

In 2000, she was sentenced to six months for taking a generator for the firefighter company in her district, then helping to cover it up--but that's not why her constituents turned on her.

Going just a little overboard in preparing for Y2K on her farm did not cause her constituents to turn on her--hell, they were preparing for the apocalypse too!

And raising peacocks did not get her ousted (it was just a little weird).

Being a witch, well, they couldn't have that in Crawford County. It's one thing to have a farm full of federal surplus generators for firefighters, Y2K, and exotic birds, but a whole other thing to force state workers to listen to Deepak Chopra and conjure up Wiccan spirits.
