Christine O'Donnell: The Tea Party's Gift to Weird News

By , About.com GuideOctober 29, 2010

Follow me on:

Christine O'DonnellAnti-masturbation activist and U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell says she dabbled in witchcraft... but, of course, she's not a witch.

She's you, right?

Maybe -- but only if you're the type to threaten a lawsuit against against a radio station for... well... I'm not quite sure what, but it seems she didn't like the interview there.

In any case, with so much on the line, observers are looking at every possible clue in all her appearances -- and it seems her hair may hold the key to her witchcraft.

Or complete, total, non-witchiness.

And that brings me to this week's weird news headlines from Fark.com:

FarkChristine O'Donnell's hair length in her "I am not a witch" commercial means A) it's shopped, B) she's wearing extensions now, or C) she's a witch

FarkDear Fark: I never thought I'd be writing one of these headlines, but Bob Guccione is dead at 79

FarkBible.com sued by investors for lack of prophets

FarkSpeaking slowly and enunciating very carefully, Ugandan Health Minister blames jiggers for 20 deaths and more than 20,000 illnesses in his country in the last few months

FarkFirst Hooters restaurant to open in Tokyo - beer served in smaller cups, of course

When I was fifty-two
It was a very weird year
It was a very weird year of Tea party girls
And twisted extremes
With their right wing dreams
They didn’t have a clue
When I was fifty-two

But now the days are short
We’re in the autumn of the years
And now I think of this place
As Wonder Bread turned green from mold
To rocks from gold
We were gripped by fear
It was a very weird year….
