As President, Jimmy Carter may not have consulted an astrologer to decide the details of his schedule - á la Nancy Reagan directing her husband's busy days. But Ronald Reagan's predecessor did once employ a woman in a trance to locate a downed government plane in Africa.
"We had a plane go down in the Central African Republic. A twin-engine plane. Small plane. And we couldn't find it," the 81-year-old 39th President reveals to GQ magazine's Wil S. Hylton. "So we oriented satellites that were going around the Earth every 90 minutes to fly over that spot where we thought it might be and take photographs. We couldn't find it."
Carter continues: "The director of the CIA came and told me that he had contacted a woman in California who claimed to have supernatural capabilities. And she went into a trance and she wrote down latitudes and longitudes, and we sent our satellite over that latitude and longitude, and there was the plane."
Digging deeper into his personal X-Files, Carter claims he once sighted a UFO.
"I've never believed that it came from Mars....But I saw an object one night when I was preparing to give a speech to a Lions Club," Carter says. "There were about 25 of us men standing around....And all of a sudden, one of the men looked up and said, 'Look, over in the west.' And there was a bright light in the sky....[I]t got closer and closer to us. And then it stopped, I don't know how far away, but it stopped beyond the pine trees. And all of a sudden it changed color to blue, and then it changed to red, then back to white.

That is a very interesting question.
Astrologers don't have "powers" any more than astronomers do.
That explains him. He's been visiting Linda Evans' channeler.
You have entered....the peanut zone.
Carter ponders the paranormal - His brain was marked Abbie something... Abbie Normal. Yes, that's it.
Jimmi as professed for basically his whole adult life to be a deeply committed Born Again Christian. He therefore MUST believe All Power Eminates from God. The 'Strange Mystical Powers' of the stars have to originate from somewhere.
According to his publicy stated belief system he has now embraced another power not originated from God. This is easy to rationalize by saying God created the stars, but following this logic to the extreme by saying, abortion is OK because God gave us the ability to do so. Therein lies the Irony.
This is a slippery slope, and based on other actions he has taken it appears his faith has left him.
Jimmy has been cosuming too much of that Georgia hootch.
Jimmy who?
Wasn't he the guy who used to bend spoons with his mind?
Hmm!
Maybe!
Ge 1,14: . . . let there be lights in the firmamant of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs . . .
Exacty my point. But how much damage will be done before that.
I peeked in and saw a thread on biomagnetics...Someone should post a comment for them that it's best to store their magnets on their computer so that the magnetic flux can reactivate the magnets making them last 3x longer. lmao. Wonder how many DUmmies would do it?
Think of it as "DU Darwinism".
It's a Bible verse. What am I supposed to "make" of it?
Don't know what someone is 'supposed' to make of it. What does one make of it?

Even though the Daily News is a left-leaning rag, this article is written in such a way to gently point the reader to the unavoidable conclusion - that Jimmuh has gone off the deep end. I love it.
He won't be lonely. Prince Charles is already there.
Of that, there can be no doubt.
