Sane Judges See ‘Emanations’ and ‘Penumbras’

This “Best of the Web” summary featured in today’s WSJ Opinion Journal is funny enough, but when you consider the headline in the context of the story, it is off the charts:

Sane Judges See ‘Emanations’ and ‘Penumbras’
“A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country’s Supreme Court,” Reuters reports from Manila:

Floro was sacked last month and fined $780 (40,000 pesos) after a three-year investigation found he was incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure, a ruling showed.

He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs–Armand, Luis and Angel–helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.

So much for the little man getting his day in court!
