‘”Bush's 'spirit' cursed with black magic, tossed into river…”

[Me.]

“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.

"This is a traditional northern Thai ceremony aimed at keeping his spirit down on the riverbed so he could not come and exploit our natural resources or suppress our (farming) brothers with his superior influence," Weerasak Wan-ubol, an executive of the Northern Farmers Alliance, said today.”…cont.

“A respected elder performed the voodoo rites, inscribing ancient Khmer scripts on the pot, aimed at trapping the spirit of the US president.”

12. That was my first thought too!

My second thought was "Man! Isn't there enough pollution now in the (Mississippi) river without throwing Bush's spirit in it too?"

13. They will be doing that in NO before long, if not already

Unless, of course, all the voodoo practitioners in NO were given a heads up by Papa Legba and the other loa and got the hell out before the storm hit.
