GARLIC ASKS ABOUT THAT NOSTRADAMUS POEM
One of the hottest e-mails making the rounds these days is a four line poem about President-Elect George W. Bush supposedly written by Nostradamus, a 16th Century French seer. It goes like this...
Come the millennium, month 12,
In the home of the greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader.

"It just proves what I've been saying all along. Al Gore won the election."Darleen Edwards, Shoe Salesperson
"Man, that Doris Kearns Goodwin must be wetting her pants over this."
Clark Bender, Plumber
"I have no trouble with prophecies, just as long as our nation evolves into two camps run by firece warlords who get their directins directly from Mars, the god of war."
Terry Jenner, Restaurant Manager
That translation's a bit rough. "D'vn Poppy vieillard naistre sens hebeté" literally means "To old Poppy will be born an idiot heir."Ted Daniels, French Teacher
"Clearly this is just one more Internet hoax. Everyone knows that Nostradamus was the father of Cosa Nostra, that Italian secret society, and both Bush and his father were members of the Skull and Crossbones chapter at Yale. Let's keep our facts straight, please." James Jackson, Analyst
"Look, I don't care if Bush is an idiot. I just like the way he reached out to the Hispanic community with generous tips."
Robert Duncan, Mortician
