Romania, being the home of Dracula and being in the heart of superstitious Eastern Europe, has been leading the fight against witches.  While Romania doesn’t use fire or hard labor for their witches, they do use the legal system.  A month ago, Romanian witches were forced to pay taxes on their trade for the first time.  Now, Romania is looking to toughen its witch laws, with witches facing fines and jail time if their predictions don’t come true.

“They can’t condemn witches, they should condemn the cards,” argued Romania’s so-called queen witch, Bratara Buzea, who added that when clients give false information, it throws off the magic of the cards.  “I will fight until my last breath for this not to be passed.  What about when the client gives false details about themselves? We can’t be blamed for that.”

In addition to fines and jail for faulty cards, witches also face other new legal hurdles should the law pass.  Witches have to get permits to practice, provide customers with receipts, and would be banned from practicing near churches and schools.  In short, Romania is wanting to turn witches into liquor stores.

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
