Psychic's Tip Cancels Flight

[ThomWV]

According to CNN the tip from a psychic casued a plane to be inspected and the flight canceled. This must be the Bu$h counter terrorism plan in effect. You can read about it at http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/27/psychic.plane.ap/index.html if you like. What I was thinking is that if God is spending all his time speaking to Bu$h why doesn't God tell him where the bombs are hidden, where Osama is, how to create jobs, and maybe how to keep his daughters out of bars?

1. Great. Got to love magical thinking dominating our society.

A tip by a psychic cancels a commuter flight. Good lord. This is the age of reason, right? I love this line:

The purported psychic's call was "unusual," conceded Doug Perkins, local administrator for the federal Transportation Security Administration director.

"But in these times, we can't ignore anything. We want to take the appropriate measures," he said.





Great. So I can get flights cancelled if I tell the airlines my cat thinks it might get shot down with a missile?

3. Next, the Psychic Investor's Network - i.e. new Bush economic plan

The same psychic will pick the best bets among penny stocks, unleashing an entrepreneurial tsunami that will bring back the boom.

5. LOL.

Hatrack, this is very funny. And probably true. What has Bush got to lose? (His credibility went out the door a long time ago.)
