BOGOR, Indonesia Nov 16, 2006 (AP) — A renowned black magic practitioner performed a voodoo ritual Thursday to jinx President George W. Bush and his entourage while he was on a brief visit to Indonesia.
Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slit the throat of a goat, a small snake and stabbed a black crow in the chest, stirred their blood with spice and broccoli before drank the "potion" and smeared some on his face.
"I don't hate Americans, but I don't like Bush," said Pamungkas, who believed the ritual would succeed as, "the devil is with me today."
He said the jinx would send spirits to possess Secret Service personnel guarding Bush and put them in a trance, leading them into falsely thinking the president was under attack, thus eventually causing chaos in Bogor Presidential Palace, where the American leader was scheduled to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday.
Indonesia the world's most populous Muslim country, however many still practicing animist rituals, including black magic, that predate Islam's arrival in the archipelago.
"I am doing voodoo, because other ritual would not work," Pamungkas told reporters after he conducted the gory ritual about 1 kilometers from the palace.

Conservatives are just praying that Hillary doesn't make a run.
Gee, a lot of conservatives I know are hoping that she does get the nomination, on the assumption that, because of Hillary Hatred, she will be easily defeated by the Rethuglican candidate. Of course the problem now is that since McCain is the likely candidate, conservative heads are exploding - some bullshit about him being too liberal (as if!) - to the point that they say they'd vote for Hillary over McCain.

If she gets the ticket, someone is gonna have to run as a liberal, since she is a socialist.

I'd almost rather see a democrat win so that the inevitable McCain liberal fiscal policies, like those of Bush, won't result in another black eye for the Repubs.

So true.
And Obama? I think he wants change. That makes him....?
Imagine this. You join a company. There for 4 years and decide it's time for you to be CEO. Yea right. And you are up against the guy who has been working there for 26 years, and was military for 25 years prior, back when you were still doing drugs. Oh, but the union that built the building supports you. That helps.

and lots and lots and lots of other people too
Seems obvious to me that it's a good thing that seniority isn't the only thing that counts.
What was that about a union? Perhaps they can get OB to wait his turn.
