I just knew it.

I like the part where the guy compared shutting down psychics to the crucifixion of Christ. Because, apparently, Jesus was psychic.
And phrenologists? Didn't the practice of phrenology die out with the death of Sir Arthur Retard in 1804?

The Psychics should have filed the lawsuit THE DAY BEFORE! By The Way – Does anyone else really like the USA show Psych? I think it’s one of the best shows on TV.
