They said this sort of nonsense back in 2004. They claimed that no matter who was elected, they would not finish their term.

Well, lets just say many are still waiting...

Uranus is a force for reform

If Uranus was such a force, it would have a day of the week named after it.

Believing in Astrology makes no more or less sense than claiming you get predictions from the invisible sky father.

That's not even pseudo-science. Astrology was a calendar for farmers. The only planets that mean anything are the ones you can see with the naked eye.

Bad threadjacker! No cookie for you!

This thread is for making fun of astrologers and new-age crap, no religion allowed, so sayeth me and my authority is granted by the cosmic energy fields that the Great Lady radiates from her organic Vajayjay.

TFA: On election day, November 4, 2008, Saturn and Uranus will be in direct opposition with each other.

Um... actually, on September 8, Uranus, the Sun, Earth, and Saturn will be forming a fairly straight line. So, Saturn and Uranus will be in opposition in our sky. That's not what the astrologers are referring to, is it? If so, they've got their date wrong.

Word for the wise: Dont hang out downwind of the conventions. I predict Obama and the DNC are going Bye-bye(in a "big" way), and there will be no one left to protest the "retaliation" against Iran.

/I do specialize in prophesy.

3. "There will be rampant fraud or data foul-ups on Election Day, and yet another election will be stolen."

An astrologer AND a partisan douchebag?

 
Funk Brothers 2008-06-20 06:20:00 PM  
Won't Hillaryis44 be proud of this predictment.

Seriously, I don't want to see Obama win this election. He's inexprienced and is out of touch with pancakes. This Obamamania will destory this country with terrorism. I hope the Bush Administration will decide this election. McCain will win this election and get this country moving foward by purging out the bad and pessimistic that has been destorying this country for years. This will be another four years of good times for those who know it and agree with policies currently in place. George Bush was sent by God.

How surprised would everyone be if some white supremacist wingnut were to take a potshot at Obama? Given all the incredible hate out there for liberals, Muslims, black people, gays, feminists and anything not in jackboot lockstep with the far right wing of the Republican party felt by some of the 27% backwash elements, and how Obama could be seen by such crazies as representative of the whole lot of them in a way that no one else could be seen as coming close to, just how surprised would we all be, I ask you?

/personally I'm surprised no one has tried it already. There are a lot of heavily armed psycho-crazies out there.

//I hope they miss if they do try it.

There will be rampant fraud or data foul-ups on Election Day, and yet another election will be stolen

which other ones have been stolen?

My crystal ball sees McCain abandoning his election run about then. He will say for health reasons.

 
Angry Hatter 2008-06-20 08:42:29 PM  
FTA: 1. "The election will be postponed or canceled due to some 'national emergency.'"
2. "One or more candidates will leave the race."
3. "There will be rampant fraud or data foul-ups on Election Day, and yet another election will be stolen."


Wowie, three things that "might" happen.

It's a good thing he came up with multiple predictions too, because then if any one of them were to occur, that's proof that he made a real and totally accurate prediction.

Mexico's Grand Warlock, Professor Antonio Vazquez Alba tells his tarot predictions for the New Year 2008 in Mexico City.
Professor Antonio Vazquez Alba has been giving his yearly predictions since 1980.

This year 2008, he has predicted that this year's winner for U.S. presidential election will be Hillary Clinton. Shockingly, he also predicted that Britney Spears will commit suicide.

Not that I believe in any of this hogwash but it's probably about as accurate as any poll right now in terms of predicitng the election.

tho-bal

read a book, tard. even read noam chomsky. ANYTHING. spontaneous revolutions don't just happen anymore. there is absolutely no global interest in a revolution/coup/anything occurring in the united states. you guys are so displaced from reality that i wonder if it's even possible to smoke enough to get to where you are. the ridiculous "the weed is soooo potent it's going to fry our childrens' brains" can't possibly be right, can it? i'm starting to wonder.

 
tho_bal 2008-06-22 01:34:24 AM  
I'm not saying there'll be a revolution. I'm saying we should all say goodbye to Denver.
