Predictions on the 20 Year Curse? |
|
He escaped his first term unscathed, so whadya think? How will the "20 year curse" manifest itself in Bush's 2nd term?
THE 20 YEAR CURSE Beginning in 1840, and in each consecutive twenty-year presidential administration through 1960, the incumbent President has died in office. The "Twenty Year Curse" was supposedly cast upon the presidency at the hands of an unknown Indian Chief.
1840 - William Henry Harrison......pneumonia 1860 - Abraham Lincoln......assassination 1880 - James Garfield......assassination 1900 - William McKinley.......assassination 1920 - Warren Harding........heart failure 1940 - Franklin Roosevelt.......cerebral hemorrhage 1960 - John Kennedy.....assassinated
1980 - President Reagan...Although he did not die in office, he was shot and nearly killed by an assassin. The President was also diagnosed by some as having developed Alzheimer's disease while in office.

"Almost" only counts in horseshoes.
The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country. --John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
