Foreseeing election results -- is it in the cards?
By Gwen Arbuckle
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Friday, October 29, 2004
The answer to Tuesday's presidential election could be the in stars, or in the cards.
Soothsayers are willing to call the White House smackdown even if public opinion polls show a close race. Trib p.m. called upon psychics, astrologers and numerologists to forecast who will win: Sen. John Kerry or Republican President George W. Bush. Some of them predicted period of uncertainty after the election, and said that Kerry could be president if he doesn't back down during a recount.
"Numerologically, Kerry is the better man, but because of how Bush comes across, he'll probably get the election. But even if Kerry does win, the Bush empire isn't going to allow it," said Lady Morgan, a psychic advisor on the South Side.
......................................
If Bush stays, she said astrological odds are that he won't stay there long. She cited a phenomenon known as the Tecumseh Curse.
According to the curse, presidents elected on a 20-year cycle starting with 1840 have not made it through two terms. Most have resigned, died or been assassinated before that could happen.
Astrologically speaking, Bush's stars and planets look much like those of former President Richard Nixon when he was campaigning for re-election.
"If Bush is re-elected, he will not finish his term," Ackerman said.
...................................
Tarot specialists Ruth and Charque Newell of Regent Square said they were surprised by their findings that Kerry would be the victor.
"Our emotions are in a different place than what we found in the reading," Ruth said.
They also agreed with other occultists - both candidates will challenge the results.
"Bush will find it hard to lose. He will be fighting his defeat," Ruth said.
"It will probably take four weeks before the election is settled," Charque said. "(Kerry) could almost lose the election by playing the gentleman."

They're as bad as politics, they don't even give a straight answer.

Ah, excellent.
Now can you lend me some money to buy a ticket?
-
I don't have your fucking Dutch money! My money's all American.
-
Don't worry, I'll take US dollars over those stinking euros. You'll just have to give me more of them, cause US dollars ain't worth that much anymore.
-
Hope Kerry gets elected so we can stop invading people.

Jesus Christ is Chelsey's avatar distracting.
-
Aye, that it is
-
Related to fortune-telling, the Washington Redskins lost on Sunday. :P
If history holds, the 28-14 result portends a victory for Kerry on Tuesday because the result of the Redskins' final home game before the presidential election has always accurately predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.
The streak began in 1933, when the Boston Braves were renamed the Redskins. Since then, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt's re-election in 1936, the trend has held, including a 2000 Redskins loss to the Tennessee Titans that predicted George W. Bush's win over Al Gore.

No it doesn't. Maybe it's bacause it's all tiny of a picture... but no visible freckles at all. Women always hate their freckles.
-
Freckles = Hawt. Why do you think Velma is so desired? And Daniella Gamba too.
-
i like freckles, they look cute
edit: im talking in general, of course
-
I like the freckles on my nose from the sun and tanning. But a body covered in freckles is kind of icky.

He's sexy to Michael Jackson.

He's the gimp who hosts American Idol.

...why did we need that? x.x
-
So you could have something to whack off to...
-
Um... no. I find the lady with the spike through her ass more attractive.
-
Variety is the spice of life.
-
So is a spike through the ass.
-
No, that's just a horrible accident.
-
But you get a great story.
-
Freckles kind of go with the territory on redheads, which is part of why I avoid the sun so much. I don't have them, but I would if I wasn't careful.

Wasn't there a different host in the first season who had objections to their meanness inducing policies?

I don't remember the first season, but you're probably right. I don't think he was always the host.
