From:
this respected news source"...Legend transmits that after the historic battle of Tippecanoe , Tecumseh released prisoners with a prophetic message for General William Henry Harrison—a prophecy that has come to be known as "Tecumseh's Curse."
Harrison will win next year to be the Great Chief... He will die in his office... I who caused the Sun to darken and Red Men to give up firewater tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of our people.
Indeed, in 1841, President William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia, and for 140 years every president elected every 20 years died in office, except for Ronald Reagan who survived a close assassination attempt. (Reagan, however, did develop Alzheimer's, and was the only president to use the timing advice of an astrologer for public appearances!) Is this just coincidence or the curse from the collective wrath of millions of Native Americans? As George Bush heads toward the completion of his first term, many wonder if he will be the next victim of Tecumseh's prophetic curse."
The conspiracy theory is already out there that Bush will be assassinated to create fear and insure Cheney's election.

i have often wondered why no crazed suicide terrorist has yet to make an attempt.

While it would give me some degree of satisfaction to see George Bush get shot in the head, I doubt it would make the world situation any better.

It would make it much worse, actually. Particularly if it was an Arab that shot him. That's when we start rounding them up and firing the ovens. (See: the new Philip Roth book.)

Plus I reckon it would totally consolidate the Republican stranglehold on American politics.

How 'bout a pretzel, George?

And after him, every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die..I'd be very careful crossing the street if I were Al Gore.

Lets' hope it's not an Arab pretzel that manages to finnish the job.
