Unlucky Number 20
Since 1840, every 20 years the president who was elected has either died in office or been shot and that would make our current president the first to break the streak. Here is the link: Link

Oh wow. How sad, yet interesting.
I think Cheney’s on his last leg. Oh, how I would love to dance on that fucker’s grave.
Yeah… and I was so counting on him to keep up the tradition….
That’s insanity.
Gee, Dan, did you have to point that out!
Geeze…old Dubya looks ancient in that picture.
Yeah, but can you name those presidents?
bummer.
Just waiting for the usual lovely comments out of this one. So far only 40% are death wishes
Yes, but Native American’s have given up their rights when they all built casinos, so curse over!
ahh yes there is still 667 days left…do you believe in curses…have you seen the “magic”…have a good one…Smile
let’s hope nothing happens to him…

lmao!!!
well.. so far, so good? americans overreact too much.. we’d be in a horrible state if bush died.. *knocks on wood*.. i mean, i guess some of us are already but things could get worseeeeeeee!
Just a coincidence.
Dammit! Someone needs to hurry up and remedy this situation…
I don’t wish death on anyone. As far as the curse goes, I say crap.
id rather have chenny bite the bullet and die. he’s the one running the show anyways…. and then if W did die, then we wouldnt have Chenny taking over.
Actually, didn’t the last one break the curse? Reagan never got shot, did he? I think I recall an attempt (don’t judge me, I wasn’t alive yet), but he was never actually hurt.
Oh, I guess Reagan did get hit by a bullet.
Oh well. Whoever wrote that article had annoyingly bad grammar.
innerblondness has a very good point. We can’t have Cheney taking over!! Live, Dubya, live!!!

Reagan was hit the bullet came very close to killing him. I wasn’t born yet ether but I read the artical
Being a president is a tough job. Most of the time people hate you, or they kill you.
If he were going to die.
He’d be dead already.
It’s a curse? Oh, curses! *curses loudly*
His term isn’t quite up yet… there is still time! Haha!
Well, Bushy still has another year and a half. Enough people hate him that I wouldn’t be surprised if something happens.
BUT, I think that he’s safe, because no one wants Cheney as a president.
Hmmm.
can I say “damn” without being tried for treason?
you may have inadvertantly sparked an assassination atempt plan…… but i hope not!
Oh dear sweet Jesus, don’t let Bush die. I don’t want Cheney to be president!
it’s not over yet….
I find that kind of surprising.. with the number of people who seem to hate your president, I would’ve figured that someone would have off-ed him by now.
I am sure there are plenty of liberal bush-bashing idiots that would kill to change that
>.>
I find it creepy … But why am I not surprised ><
Don’t wish death upon the man. He’s a human being.
His term isn’t over yet… *crosses fingers*
Re everyone who hates Cheny: He’s about to die anyway…
That’s interesting…. I could say something witty and cruel about Dubya right now… but I’ll refrain.
The curse has been broken during the Reagan administration.
Boo.
Paige… I was on the bus when my mother told me. We were a liberal household. I blurted out “too bad he didn’t die, I wish he had died!” My mother freaked and quieted me. It was a greyhound bus driving to Illinois at night. We were going through Kentucky from Tennessee.
I was six or 7, maybe 8.
A child knows no better, not being capable of thinking out, and flinging the power of death on another.
Death is a very fine line. On one hand you can wish death, imagine death, imagine your hands on someone who fills you with rage, a locked door, and plenty of time.
That goes beyond even the whims of a child. We all have that in us, animal rage, each and every one.
It is our culture and foundation in it of what is right and wrong. What Islam and Christianity have is something of a social agreement. I will not do this if you will not do that” so we have covenants, blessed by whatever god. Rules for living when it meant not dying.
A child flings it, a human possesses it, and xanga does what? A post speculating the irony of a disliked predident meeting an ironic demise by a giant safe falling on his helicopter or something. A stray antiarcraft missle was launched, he fall and broke his neck on the car window…
And people encourage it… Yes… YES!!! DEATH TO THE PRESIDENT! HE SHOULD DIE!! Maybe thinking how as they write it, the blood vessles bulging, eyes wide with terror, the body frozen in shock cause buddy, Im here to kill you! It goes quickly.
Once it’s done, what do you think it feels like? Last exhale, bubbles, spit, maybe shit and piss as the slump in some odd position, face goofy half lid glazed stare.
When you see the object of your hate in the position of true fast violent death, you lose your steam. The anger is gone. Your tired. Rage murder brings up tha same fight or flightsex on drugs reaction. You have to come back when things get still.
And leave because what was thralling is now just ugly. Maybe guilt too, though never shown. Remorse… Wipe the spit and sweat and blood of your arms and face. Don’t walk in the puddle, get away, get out.
Yeah, just one dramatization…
Those who wish death? Could they do it? Wish that anticlimax of murder on the presient. Don’t watch, do it yourself to speak so casually.
See the look of revulsion and the shuddering wretching around the corner, the sobs hunched over.
YOu get what you wish for… others. Karma is real. You should wish good things on your enemies, health, and peace. I wish my enemies peace when I remember. It is hard…
Very interesting!
Almost got him with that pretzel.
Ha! I’d forgotten all about that!
I wonder if someone will try to shoot him just to keep it going ..
I don’t know why posts like this are made. The comments are far too predictable and lame.
Heeeey xangans, you know, it IS illegal to threaten the life of the President, so play nice, you never know who’s reading this blog
And he’s the one that deserves to be dead.
When I was younger, I asked my mom why good presidents like Lincoln and Kennedy were shot, and bad presidents like Nixon and Bush weren’t. She said because bad people want to hurt good people, and good people wouldn’t hurt anyone, even bad people. I love my mom.
If he were to die, would that solve any problems, really? I mean his administration would be intact and so would a lot of his policies.
I would be horrified if he were to be assassinated, can you imagine the shit our country would get into after that? All the civil liberties we’d lose and the patriotic fervor our country would be whipped up into.
Sorta like after September 11th, remember when the Dixie Chicks just said something along the lines of “we’re not proud bush is from texas” and everyone started hating them so much? Think about the crap people would say about Clinton during his presidency. Not to say that the attacks weren’t ill-founded, it just goes to show the danger of hyper-patriotism.
By hyper-patriotism I mean having this belief that your country can do no wrong ever, sorta like in 1984.
I think some short-sighted liberals will begin to think things through and see the consequences of their wishes, once they stop being blinded by hate er something.
i could change that
Awww…it’s not nice to break traditions.
just kidding; i would never do something like that
There’s still 667 days to go.. *crosses fingers* .. Wait, that would mean Cheney takes over. *uncrosses fingers*
nah, he’s dead, and we just dont know it… and Alberto Gonzalez is a necrophiliac…
hopefully he’ll die
I’m crossing my fingers!
time’s not up yet.
interesting fact … of all the presidents it had to be him who would break the chain … fate is just unfair sometimes…
that sucks for us
Interesting…*shrugs* coincidence?
well, being brain dead sorta counts doesn’t it?
dayum, yer slick…
Not for long! Mwahaha..!JK. =P
hahahaha….. he is going to get shot!!! well, that’d be pretty odd if he did.. anyways, i don’t really care about our president right now…. grrrrrrr. don’t you think he’d be a little scared that someone might actually want to kill him… [or he might have a heartattack or something]
Why does the streak have to break NOW?
Okay, that’s mean. I hate bush, but no one deserves to die. Would impeachment count?
The astrologist in the article says it is broken so it has to be right?
I wish the curse was a little different, and it changed so that it would have killed the president who was elected in the 6 year immediately prior to the zero year. That way Clinton would be dead.
Wait nevermind, that would give the false prophets of the left a martyr.
People who do not support Bush really need to get their heads out of their rear ends.
I believe that since the world is trying to turn Christianity and the Bible into “everything is symbolic” then I think our current president has fulfilled the pattern quite nicely. Jesus said:
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. [I John 3:15]
Man… He looks really old in that picture…
I kind of feel sorry for him… He’s just Cheney’s puppet and he’s catching all of the heat…
You can really tell that the stress is getting to him. He looks so tired…
aw. everyone’s so mean. sure, bush sucks as a president, but he’s got a family and friends just like everyone else, and it’s really cruel to wish death on anyone. how would you feel if the whole world whined about how they wanted your mum, dad, best friend, spouse, etc. to die?
that said, i’m glad there’s only so many more days bush is staying as president. yes i live in south korea, but i’m moving to the united states in three or so more years, so i’m concerned about this kind of stuff. also he made some really rude comments on atheists and vegetarians, of which i’m both. ugh. ):
oh darn
what are you saying dan?
are you sad this streak has ended?
now let’s not get hasty, he’s still got time to kick the bucket. Don’t crush all of our dreams. lol
Man! We can’t do anything right! Damn.
Oh, Dan – these comments are going to get some people in trouble. The Secret Service has NO sense of humor and takes their job VERY seriously. My brother was investigated in the assassination of President Kennedy because of something he said in show and tell. He was seven years old. He still has trouble getting security clearance.
Hey, hey, hey…He’s still got a couple month’s of his term left. Give him a bit before you go saying things like that
–Not that I would ever wish any harm on our President of course. Please don’t call the FBI on me.
This curse doesnt apply to sub-human like Bush
We learned about this in 8th grade US History. My teacher said some people think that the curse is over because Reagan survived. And others, of course, think it’s just a bunch of coincidence.
I refuse to comment on this! Props for posting!
lala
damn
You know, I’m really no fan of Bush AT ALL. … But if he died, our President would be Dick Cheney. … Because of this, I really really hope Bush lives through his term.
Being a president is a tough job. Most of the time people hate you, or they kill you.

yep..
YAY! BUSH!!
I DON’T HATE HIM JUST BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES FOR NO STUPID REASON!!
Maybe he’s breaking the CURSE…lol- Good for him!
And he deserves to be shot more than them.
So far…
PLEASE DON’T LET BUSH GET KILLED WHILE STILL IN OFFICE!!! That would mean that a) Cheney becomes president *chills*, and b) Bush becomes a saint and a martyr in the history books, which I just could not tolerate. He already gets away with way too much as it is.
Whatever.
Once every 13 minutes someone is killed in an automobile accident.
I think some of the people on here need to go out and drive around a while…
Don’t wish death upon the man. He’s a human being.
Posted 3/27/2007 12:07 AM by LightningRichy
Agreed. People are such arses “I wish he was dead!”. Honestly, no-one deserves death, especially at the hands of another human being, regardless of their transgressions.
ehhhh…
maybe he won’t? (hopefully.)
well shit, it isnt over yet
I kind of hope he gets shot.
It would be an interesting month
“Don’t wish death upon the man. He’s a human being.
Posted 3/27/2007 12:07 AM by LightningRichy”
Yeah, so was everyone killed by the death penalty.
dan, i thought that ronald reagan broke the streak when he was shot and didn’t die?
Fight Mental Illness Stigma
Hey, not yet.
That is weirdddddd.
::worries:: I hope he doesn’t die! It’s bad when anything/anyone dies.
God Dam….i mean what a relief. stilll even though he’s not dead i’m pretty sure his political career and popularity are going to be soon.
i agree with stuartandabby
Heh….
Maybe he’ll die soon.
He has alot of prayer going up for him. People all over America pray for him daily.
We can only hope that it is just yet to occur.
-_-”
Well…let’s just hope for the best.
Wow…
Now that’s an interesting fact.
Reagan didn’t die…. almost but no cigar
i guess he broke Tecusmseh’s curse
Very interesting…
I love studying about Tecumseh…one of my favorite Historical figures…
His term’s not over yet.
20′s lucky for me.
Does impeachment count?
well, i hope he doesn’t die. i don’t like the man, but i still don’t want him dead.
Oh god. We’re doomed.
Damn Bush bashers. Shame on you!!!!
Rest assured, people. The president is safe. Also, please know that the boogey man does not exist, it was all a lie . . .
I don’t believe in curses and only the Lord knows the number of our days.
Oh, so that explains why he fiercely backs the Patriot Act and the reduction of our rights!
*sarcastic snicker*
It was that they were supposed to die in office…but supposedly Reagan broke it because he lived…that’s what I’ve heard anyway.
Interesting.
i’m sure that will end soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/drunk
ahahahahahahahahAA
I know who Bush is but who else is pictured. Is that Washington in the matching picture. I thought he had white hair and carried around a hatchet and hung out in the cherry orchard.
Are you going to use your kids BB gun to take out Bush. Did Bush in his commenting on your blog say get the BB gun or not for your kid ?
You know that the FBI/CIA/MTV has a program that is now tracking everyone who reads and comments on your topic. Very dangerous but brave on your part.
I heard that VP.Cheney also flies the black helicopter that comes after you when he decides you need your finger nails pulled out!
then someone better get on that to shot him ….
seriously
we cant break this curse
its needed
