Curses Foiled Again

I heard this story on Paul Harvey. I was amused and bemused. I have been threatened with Voodoo more than once. In fact after a great deal of bragidocio on the part of some mountain residents I looked hard for a black magic practitioner to take on when I was in Jamaica a few years ago. It was all big talk till I told them I wanted a showdown, I even agreed to meet them in a cemetery at midnight. No takers. Oh well. Talk is cheap.

Here's the story:

A renowned black magic practitioner performed a voodoo ritual Thursday to jinx President George W. Bush and his entourage while he was on a brief visit to Indonesia.

Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slit the throat of a goat, a small snake and stabbed a black crow in the chest, stirred their blood with spice and broccoli before drank the "potion" and smeared some on his face.

"I don't hate Americans, but I don't like Bush," said Pamungkas, who believed the ritual would succeed as, "the devil is with me today."

He said the jinx would sent spirits to posses Secret Service personnel guarding Bush and left them in a trance, leading them into falsely thinking the President was under attack, thus eventually causing chaos in Bogor Presidential Palace, where the American leader was scheduled to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday.

Indonesia the world's most populous Muslim country, however many still practicing animist rituals, including black magic, that predate Islam's arrival in the archipelago.

"I am doing voodoo, because other ritual would not work," he told reporters after he conducted the gory ritual about 1 kilometers from the palace.

Just in case anyone thinks there's anything to this, In the name of Jesus I rebuke and revoke any curse against President Bush or his secret service agents. Amen.

That'll do it. It always does. Always will.
