Whoa! Good news from the Far Out: George W is History. I mean he’s outta here. No second term. Hey, he may not even finish his first.

Some say heart trouble, or maybe all that cocaine is finally going to catch up with him. Maybe he’ll catch some blowback from all that violence he so righteously propagates.

And we haven’t forgotten Tecumseh's Curse. That started in 1840 with the death of William Henry Harrison, our ninth president. During his military land-grabbing career, Harrison helped bring down Shawnee warrior Tecumseh's efforts to unite the original inhabitants of North America and halt the theft of their common land by the European invaders.

Tecumseh's brother, the prophet Tenskwatawa, is said to have cursed the US presidency, so that those elected every 20 summers, or winters, will not survive their terms in office. That’s: Harrison, 1840; Lincoln, 1860; Garfield, 1880; McKinley, 1900; Harding, 1920; Roosevelt, 1940; Kennedy, 1960.

This excludes Ronald Reagan, 1980. He was at least shot, but remember Nancy had her own astrologer tipping the odds, while the Unchristian Right claim they prayed Reagan out of this jam, and it wasn’t in fact modern medical science that saved him.

According to astrology, it is not Tecumseh from the grave causing all this mayhem, but instead the deathly twenty-year Jupiter-Saturn conjunct. Reagan’s conjunct was in an Air Sign -- that’s what saved him. All the others, 1840 through 1960, were in an Earth sign.

George W. Bush’s conjunct is in an Earth sign. But you never know, Georgie could just be forced to resign. He’s got a transit like we haven’t seen since Richard Nixon was forced out of office.

Any way you look at it, the astrologers are finding trouble in Georgie’s future. This is not surprising since George Bush is trouble, a Jonah. He never had a success at anything before he was president. Everything he touches turns to dust -- the man with the anti-Midas touch.

What are the odds? A Japanese Student Training Fishing Boat, the Pacific Ocean, and an US Atomic Submarine.

What are the odds? Arthur Anderson, Martha Stewart and Criminal Investigations?

What are the odds? KMART, United Airlines, Enron, et al, and Bankruptcy Court?

What are the odds? Four simultaneously hijacked American Airliners, New York's Twin Towers, and the Pentagon? What are the odds? The odds are George "Jinx" Bush. Unfortunately he's steering our boat for now.

And how many body bags are we going to have to see this time? They got up to 50,000 in Viet Nam. Think we’re faster learners? It’s 150 and counting. Will 500 be enough? 5,000? What’s the number that will change our course and make us at last call in the UN? Fat chance while Donald “Duck” Rumpsfelt leads the charge.
