TYT: Mayoral Candidate Speaking In Tongues

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"A perennial fringe mayoral candidate in Toledo, Ohio can be seen speaking in tongues after an interview with WIOT-FM.

The footage shows 75-year-old Opal Covey holding up her copy of the Bible and telling Fred LeFebvre, “I don’t know what God is going to do.”...

“Right now you actually are a false prophet,” he adds. “You said you were gonna get elected before and you haven’t been elected. So you are a false prophet, Opal Covey.””*

8. Check out this part of the description on the one I posted...

This is actually possible:

The song is based in an African popular myth that says that Shaka (Zulu's last king a.k.a. The Lion, for people who didn't play Sid Mayer's Civilization), wasn't dead, he was just sleeping and someday he would wake up.
