New Salem, South Dakota -- State Senators John Malleus (R, Nisland) and Philip Mallificarum (R, Huron) introduced a bill on Wednesday that would make "witchcraft and other black arts" a capital crime, with conviction leading to execution by burning at the stake. "The Holy Bible teaches that you shall not suffer a witch to live," Sen. Malleus stated at a press conference in Pierre. "For too long, the liberal court system has prevented devout Christians from excercising our Godly duty." Sen. Mallificarum added, "We believe that the new Supreme Court will finally take our side in this issue and help restore God's holy law to this land."

The bill is expected to pass the Senate with little debate, and capitol watchers predict easy passage in the House. Governor Mike Rounds has already exressed his support and is expected to sign the bill if it lands on his desk.

DISCLAMER It should be obvious, but I'm going to say it anyway: this is satire.

1. It may be satire, but it's not too far-fetched, I fear.

2. I think Indiana has a similar bill in Legislature (kidding) ...

... but probably not kidding for long ... the Fundies are out of control in this state.

I hope none of them read this and get any ideas !! :hide: :scared:

4. That's not satire

That's tomorrows news. That is an excellent description of an insane religious zealot in elected office.
