Psychic Bullshit

We entered the creepy crystal store and in search of a gift for a kook friend. The store was crowed and noisy, as they were hosting some event. A long-grey-haired and sandaled woman greeted us and asked, “Are you here for the psychic fair?”

“You tell me”, I said.

She had no idea, clearly her sixth sense of psychic perception was on the fritz. Should you ever even have to advertise a psychic fair?

It comes to mind that psychics are full of shit, yet they are always happy to remind us how full of shit they aren't. It is a good time for us to note how all of those good police psychics are nowhere to be found on the Natalie Holloway disappearance in Aruba. Somehow they always seem to get their man, except in most cases. Of course, after the police find her remains at least 100 psychics will emerge to confirm that the finds meshed precisely with their predictions. It is easy to predict things that already happened.

Just keep this in mind-- there are no psychics coming forward with the information at this point. You won't hear from them until after the body is found, if it is found. Otherwise, please don't fail to notice the silence.

The lovely Roxanne has also given treatment to this topic in one of her quarterly blog contributions. You can read it here.
