Watching the news . . .

Not surprisingly, The Drudge Report was first with this story, in tandem with Religion New Blog. It's right up both their alleys. I found it ironic that the woman herself, obviously not playing with a full deck ("I had cut myself. I do that kind of out of habit now."), could say in her own defense that she was into Satanism, not Witchcraft. Like that will help her?

The Pagans have been happier with the outcome, so far, of the "prayer" lawsuit story. One issue: most Pagans I know do not speak of prayer. Offering Pagan "prayers" in front of a legislative body is, I suspect, just another step on the road towards meeting in rectangular buildings with pews.
