Mayan priests perform a cleansing ceremony at the ruins of Iximche in the town of Tecpan, Guatemala March 15, 2007. Mayan spiritual leaders held the purification ritual Thursday at the top of a pyramid visited days earlier by U.S. President George W. Bush, unpopular here because of foreign policies going back to Central America's civil wars. REUTERS/Daniel LeClair (GUATEMALA)

1. The Devil walk here

[Beausoir]

2. Hope they got it all.

I can't think of anyone who would leave a large slime trail.

3. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think this is the first time an indigenous group...

...has had to purify a holy site after Bush visited. It seems like there's been at least one other incident like this.

8. didn't some priests in India purify a site after his visit?

or that might have been Cheney, although I've heard that bunches of garlic and wolfsbane stops him turning up in the first place.

9. If only it were that easy to repel him...

...but you might be right about the priests in India.

4. When will they be available to come up here?

5. We may have to get a train the trainer session from them

It would be too much for them here, I think.

6. Trying to...

get rid of the sulphuric odor that permeates the place.

[Contrary1]

13. And the cooties remain...

for generations to come.

[roguevalley]

14. I find it hysterical that they must purify this site after his presence when

for hundreds of years thousands of people had their hearts cut out. Go, MAYANS!

[lonestarnot]

15. How did they get rid of all that sulfur?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

16. Now if only we could get them to evict the evil spirits in the White House

[donheld]

17. We need these people to come cleanse the White House

when * leaves. Maybe the whole area inside the beltway.
