Tucker Carlson: Wiccan lottery winner = government subsidation of Satanism

Sep 6, 2007 at 5:35 PM

Here's my nominee for Wanker of the Day. A Wiccan wins big in the lottery, says he attributes the win to Wiccan Magic and that he's going to use his winnings to quit his job and teach Wicca full time. Now, if a winner has attributed his winnings to Jesus and said that he was going to use his winnings to quit his job and teach Christianity, everyone would talk about how wonderful what he's doing is - but I can't imagine any pundit or politician claiming that its an example of the government subsidizing Christianity, eh?

And, of course, if I understand how lotteries work, the government isn't subsidizing ANYTHING. The whole point of government run lotteries is for the state to be able to raise money - usually to be used in funding education and such. Its all the other lottery players who are "subsidizing" the winners (if you want to put it that way.)

Anyway, just had to share that particular crock of crap. What a f*#^!ng donkey!

GEIST: And the flowers bloom on his birthday, I believe. It‘s amazing how things work there. Good for Congressman Royce.
Well, Tucker, the first of four of those giant cardboard checks handed out in the 330 million dollar mega million jackpot today. A guy from Maryland named Bunky Bartlett got his 82.5 million buck today. Make no mistake, he didn‘t win the money because of luck, he won it because of Wiccan magic.
Bunky is an accountant who also teaches Wicca, which is a nature based religion. He and his wife were on their way it a mystical bookstore when he stopped to buy the winning ticket. Bunky says, quote, the universe was working its magic. He now plans to quit his job and concentrate on teaching Wicca.
Boy you could teach a lot of Wicca with that kind of cash.
CARLSON: You‘re saying basically the U.S. government is subsidizing some kind of devil worshiper, Satanism.
GEIST: That‘s exactly what I am getting at.
CARLSON: That‘s perfect.
