CAP NEWS - "Conventional wisdom picks Obama. Nostradamus, four and a half centuries ago, picked John McCain," said Dr. Hubert Evans, professor of Renaissance Studies at Yale University and author of the best-selling "Nostradamus: Prophesize This!"

"Quatrain 78, Century X in particular seems to indicate that Obama had better not be measuring the White House windows for curtains quite yet, at least by my interpretation," said Dr. Evans.

The quatrain to which Dr. Evans refers - Quatrain 78 - is located in the grouping of stanzas known as Century X. Originally published in 1555 in Nostradamus' still-popular Les Prophecies, Quatrain 78 reads in full:

At the war's end:
The Feeble Kept One will strike down the Night
And his Imbecile Queen will rise from the snow
Bedecked in finery and the pelt of a wolf.

actual quatrain #78

Sudden joy to sudden sadness
It will occur at Rome for the graces embraced
Grief, cries, tears, weeping, blood, excellent mirth
Contrary bands surprised & trussed up

16. too funny nt

[Ian David]

4. The fact that "Imbecile Queen" neither caught their attention, nor troubled them, speaks volumes. nt

[unpossibles]

9. They probably did not know it was an insult!

too many syllables. Maybe they thought it meant "pure" or something.

12. I hear the "Imbecille Queen" is beloved by the Prime Minister of Quebec.

C'est vrai?

Everybody knows the ultimate prognosticator of tomorrow's election will be the victor in tonight's Monday Night Football game.

7. They made up fake Nostradamus quatrains right after 9/11 too...

Geez...do they think nobody can look them up?

[sofa king]

10. Oh, yes. Yet another comparison to be drawn between the GOP and...

You Know Who:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Goebbels_and_Nostradamus

"In 1940, Krafft was summoned to Berlin by Goebbels to look through the prophesies of Nostradamus and translate any of them that could be used as propaganda against the Allies. It was felt that these, if dropped into unoccupied areas, might well do something to persuade the people that government by the Nazis was in the natural order of things. And indeed, after some weeks' work, Krafft claimed to have discovered verses predicting the invasion of Holland and Belgium, and foreseeing the Third Reich and the Second World War. He produced a pamphlet based on forty quatrains of Nostradamus, designed for circulation in Belgium
and France, and predicting the imminent downfall of Britain."

11. The problems with Nostradamus' predictions

is that rarely has anyone figured out what he was talking about until after something happened and there's a lot of phoney ones floating around.

[SuperTrouper]

13. This is so funny: Feeble Kept One will strike down the Night

means that McCain will be pissed late at night when he gives his concession speech
and the Imbecile Queen (Sarah) arose from the snow (Alaska) after killing Wolves, but like a pig with a lipstick is still a pig, an Imbecile with jewelry and nice furs is still an Imbecile.

15. Classmates, perhaps?

Yeah, but the only reason Nostradamus picked McCain is because they went to high school together 4,000 years ago.

17. this actual quatrain seems more apt

century 10, quatrain 90:

http://www.nostradamusquatrains.com/Century10/Quatrain90.htm

A hundred times will the inhuman tyrant die.
In his place put one learned & mild,
The entire Senate will be under his hand,
He will be vexed by a rash scoundrel.

With Inhuman Tyrant being bush/cheney
Learned & mild = Obama
Rash scoundrel – some republican to be named
