OneAngryCultist: There's Wizardry Afoot

Since Ian Awesome is out of town for a few days, your very own OneAngryCultist has been left to the business of posting the news that OneAngryQueer usually would.




According to The Guardian:

Close allies of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to further his policies amid an increasingly bitter power struggle between him and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Several people said to be close to the president and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, have been arrested in recent days and charged with being ‘magicians’ and invoking djinns (spirits). Ayandeh, an Iranian news website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as ‘a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds’.

If this is true, then it appears that the US might be losing the magical arms race.
