And I thought listening to the Federalist Society was crazy

Sometimes you come across something so bizarre; you think it has to be made up. This is for real. Apparently, a judge in the Philippines was fired by that country's Supreme Court because he claimed he could see into the future and often consulted with three mystic dwarves (named Armand, Luis and Angel for those scoring at home). The judge, Florentino Floro, claimed that he should not be fired for "what I believe". Hmm, OK. That's just plain stupid. One cannot be a responsible Biology teacher and disbelieve the theory of evolution. If you don't believe in the Bible, you can't be a Priest. Some jobs have minimum requirements and qualifications. Judges, by necessity, must be of sound mind (Tony Scalia included). Furthermore, any position of responsibility should be denied someone this obviously insane. To steal a line from P. J. O'Rourke, it's like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. Bad things will eventually happen.

I also wonder how long it will be before Judge Floro teams up with these guys.
