Was the Scripting fuck-up the Revenge of the Loas for New Orleans?
Remember me saying that Bush had just messed with a city FULL of the most serious Voudon practitioners in the world?

Well, this is how magick works when it does...

4. Bush didn't really need voodoo to bring about his nadir; he
is so obviously a sociopath with no empathy for mankind that finally the Americans saw it up close and personal. But just to be sure...bring on the voodoo dolls.

9. Hey Ben...
They've been reporting that Rove and Cheney are on the 'outs', and that today's photo-op may have been Andy Card's bright idea.

Maybe Rove doesn't like being on the 'outs'... know what I mean?

Wink, wink, nod, nod.

:shrug:

Maybe Ole KKKarl "accidently" forgot to warn them about the live satellite feed.

:rofl:

Just a theory, mind you.

15. I've been thinking the same thing on this
maybe this is "subtle" payback...
Rove sees himself being hung out to dry (OH HAPPY DAYS!)...
and he's letting the chips "accidentally" fall where they may?

Another thought...

MAYBE THEY WANT DICK to be the PREZ. Maybe they have bigger plans?? :scared:

12. The universe seeks balance
and in our country, evil has been out-weighing good by a large margin. It had to swing back. It's just starting. Lots of momentum yet to be gained.

And don't get to excited yet. More is yet to come for these evil asses. You can gauge it by Dear Leader's poll numbers. We'll know he's at bottom when he gets to about 15-19%. That will be the Religion Industry snake handlers who will lose everything, including their faith, if they lost the shuffling killer.

16. And the changes have just begun.
This isn't the end of Bush, but it is the beginning of the end.

17. We're at the crossroads.
Papa Legba is first to be called in a service to open the gates of the spirit world. He controls crossing from one world to another, contact from the spirit world to the flesh world, delivery of the loa’s messages, is intermediary of loa in human language, and interprets their will. He is also the loa of destiny.

He has a polite, caring nature, and is the teacher of humility, compassion and responsibility to others.


www.folkart.com/misskitty/112.htm

He goes by many names, from Africa throughout both Americas. But where African traditions mixed with a harsh, severe version of Protestantism, he appears as the Devil.

Perhaps Bush feels something on his trail?

18. lol.. Billmon cracks me up.
A Big Fan
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (Reuters) - A handpicked group of U.S. troops told President George W. Bush on Thursday they believed the Iraqi people were eager to vote in a weekend referendum on an Iraqi constitution.

In a carefully scripted event, Bush spoke to 10 U.S. troops and an Iraqi soldier in a video teleconference about preparations for the Saturday vote . . .

When prompted by the president to say something, the Iraqi soldier, who was not immediately identified, said in English: "Good morning, Mr President, thank you for everything. Thank you very much for everything. I like you."

The soldier then broke down and wept. "Please, I'll tell you whatever you want," he sobbed. "Just don't put that wire up my ass again."

He's pissed off the CIA. And I'm betting they can do a lot more than voodoo.

21. Nah. I think that people within the WH know how dangerous the shrub is
and are sabotaging him. It was no accident that the cameras were rolling when the troops were being prepped. Not unlike the Enquirer getting the scoop on the shrub being on the bottle.
