Witchcraft runs unrestrained in our great land. I speak not of wizard Potter and friars Taylor and Pearson – but of the real magicians among us, who cast spells daily in these letters and columns in “objective” reporting, not only in the Sun Journal, but throughout the mainstream media all across the country, to cloud the minds of the innocent and naive.
Black is white, up is down, east is west.
They hoist high any double standard in ever more desperate attempts to regain their rightful powers, lost in battle 10 long years ago to Lord Newt and his minions. Even the potent William the Prevaricator could not restore their positions in the halls of the mighty. The ultimate indignity was the defeat of William’s surrogate, Albert the Boring, in a surprisingly long struggle with George II, aided by Sir Chad.
They place their last hopes in Prince John the Uncertain, whose battle flag contains three hearts purple on a field of two faces, whose valor in long ago wars must not be questioned, although he discarded his medals therefrom. Or was it his ribbons?
The magicians among them do not love Prince John so much as they hate George II. In their distress, they express their hatred in dark and fantastic spells, dangerous to us all.
Vocabulary lesson: the Latin word for left is “sinister.”
