Bush's 'spirit' cursed with black magic, tossed into river
I almost posted this in LBN but thought it would be more appropriate here.

The spirit of US President George W Bush has been trapped in a clay pot and tossed into a river in northern Thailand after being cursed by hundreds of farmers protesting US agriculture policy.

A photograph of the US leader was sealed inside a pot amid black magic mantra chants, then tossed into the Ping River on Friday by demonstrators after they rallied at the US consulate in Chiang Mai, a farm group leader said.

How many other countries are guilty of this same kind of thing?

Are we supposed to believe that NOBODY, anywhere in the world, had the presence of mind to cast a spell before now, and the common courtesy to make it a worldwide one?

Something is not right here, I smell a cover-up.

Why did they just do Dub? Why not do Jeb-boy, too, while they were at it, just for "insurance" purposes? :eyes:
