SF Supervisor Avalos Consults Ouija Board For Harvey Milk Navy Ship Vote

Source: CBS San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — A San Francisco supervisor said he consulted a Ouija board before city leaders voted on whether to recommend naming a Navy ship after slain gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

Supervisor John Avalos told the San Francisco Chronicle that he believes he made contact with Milk’s spirit and that Milk spelled out letters indicating: “Good riddance to don’t ask, don’t tell.”

The Board of Supervisors approved the non-binding resolution Tuesday on a 9-2 vote.

Milk was a city supervisor and former naval officer. He was fatally shot in 1978 by Dan White.

6. He's dead, he can't legally vote

I suppose it's ok in general for him to be kept on the payroll as a consulting ghost but this seems like a conflict of interest.

9. Simply the Alt equivalent of routine Fundamentalist babble...

Christian mega churches create empires by pumping much more bizarre claims and molding minds. Not to mention the vast wealth and kinkiness of the Vatican.

A OUIJA board is a much cheaper way to get higher guidance. And Milton Bradley never had an Inquisition, far as I know.
