True. But then, Reagan was subject to that curse and he beat it. And Bush has already broken the J.Q. Adams Curse and the "Incumbent's-Party-Has-Its-Ass-Handed-to-It-in-the-First-Midterms" Curse. So, I'm not too worried.

Arab astrologer predicts Bush assassination
Oracle famed for prophesying deaths of Diana, Yassin, Arafat

A Tunisian astrologer who reportedly predicted the deaths of Princess Diana, Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Yasser Arafat says President Bush will be killed by an assassin's bullet in 2005.
So seriously are Hassan al-Sharibi's predictions taken in the Arab world that a similar prophecy about Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Mahmoud Abbas has resulted in increased security around the candidate to replace Arafat as president of the Palestinian Authority.
Abbas' aides put a "great deal of credence" in the prediction, according to a source quoted by the Jerusalem Post.
However, the paper tempered its report by saying critics label Sharibi "a quack with flair who relies on logic and wishful thinking. After all, predicting Yassin's assassination – he was Israel's 'public enemy No. 1' – and the death of an already ailing Arafat are hardly major feats."
Soothsaying is not unusual, nor forbidden, in Islam – as it is in Christianity and Judaism. Muslim caliphs relied on court astrologers as early as the eighth century, according to the report in the Jerusalem Post.
Sharibi also predicted the sudden death of Saddam Hussein before his trial begins.
"The Middle East region will be sitting on a volcano in 2005, and the situation in Iraq will get even more dramatic as Saddam Hussein is expected to die suddenly before his trial even starts," Sharibi said, according to a report by United Press International.
I guess it never occured to them, if such a thing should happen, the first thing we'd do is warn law enforcement agents to stay the hell out of it.

lol.... that was funny!
Since they're planning to turn their backs on the President, it's going to be a little difficult to get a good shot.
Besides, a greater authority said, "NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU CAN PROSPER - AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP AGAINST YOU IS CONDEMNED ALREADY". Isaiah 54:17
Whose report do you believe - I believe the report of the Lord.
I like your way of thinking, p.
I've got a lot of LEO friends who don't want to be in my field of sight, when TSHTF. They know to stay low, and far away.
A touchstone to determine the actual worth of an "intellectual" -- find out how he feels about astrology.

They don't want one. They have no idea.
Reagan broke the curse by signing a bill that granted the Shawnee tribe big bucks in the 80's.
Armed RATS? Never happen. But say it did. They go out and buy firearms. Think they can muster the guts or the brains to not only use them effectively but work as enough of a team? Heck, the Black PREACHERS would prolly start shooting at the gay newlyweds first!
I never understood how this could be considered part of a "curse" of some sort. It's not like FDR was elected for the first time one November and then died suddenly a few months later. He was in office for about a bazillion years, and was re-elected so many times that anything other than "dies in office" would have been considered unusual for him.
NEVER HAPPEN....President Bush will live a long and happy life. ;o)
You have to wonder about their way of thinking.
They seem to think they can play "freedom fighter" as long as they want, then hide behind "the rule of law" when things get too hot.
Remember the DUmmy that said he was going to stick freepers with an AIDS infected needle at freeps? Can you believe that asshat actually said that's what he was going to do, and somehow thinks he's going to make it back to his car alive if someone feels the stick?

You mean all the pro gun control, non gun-owning, fanatics want an "armed" rebellion.
Oh goody.
