Mars, Bitches!

As far as pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo goes, Bush has got Gallup, and we've got Indian astrologers. Advantage: Team Kerry!

"Indian astrologers say that the planets favour Democratic candidate John Kerry to win the White House race over US President George W. Bush in next Tuesday's polls.

"The planets Mercury and Mars in the fifth and third house have exchanged positions. Success in competition is certain...Kerry will be the new president."

Mars, my bitches!

I like the idea of astrology. Any idea that will help Kerry is a good one, right now. I've become totally shameless, and tonight I'm going to do a little magic to affect the election... (It has something to do with little chocolates shaped like Bush and what happens to them :)).

Chocolate bunnies? Who knew the Dark Arts could be so delicious!

Maybe all of us should get a photo of Bush and leave a tap dripping on it from Monday evening on...

I was also toying, about a year ago, with the idea of an online Bush voodoo doll that'd give users a choice of where to stick the needle, and display the results in terms of percentages. (For the soft-hearted, there'd be an opportunity to give him brains, a heart, or compassion rather than, say, anal cysts the size of grapefruits.) I hope to God it's not an idea I'll ever have reason to revive!

Bunnies? Why on earth did I type that? I meant to say "Bushes." The mind plays strange tricks...
