If there’s anything better than a good cat fight, it’s a good psychic fight.

And a real barn-burner is going on in normally placid Connecticut.

First one psychic in the Constitution State said she was beaten up by a thug sent by rival psychics. Maybe she was horning in on their territory or getting the best booth at the state fair. Who knows.

At any rate, the alleged victim was Janet Lee, who bills herself as the “foremost psychic in New England.”

That’s juicy enough. But now Lee has been charged with lying about the incident.

Hoo-boy. This raises a reeallly obvious question.

Lee, for example, said she suspected rival psychics in the alleged beat-down because some people were leaving threatening phone messages — and this is a verbatim quote from the news story — “but she did not know their names."

Uh, why not? She’s a psychic, ain’t she? And not just your run-of-the-mill palm-reader/fortune-teller, but the “foremost psychic in New England.” Why can’t she just scrunch up her special brain and spit out their IDs?

Right now you’re probably thinking, “Hell, she can’t do that because she’s no more a ‘psychic’ than I’m an astronaut.”

I'm thinking the same thing. But then, you probably read my mind on that one.
