er.. I don't want to sound snarky, and actually find the post amusing, but perhaps it would be better as a comment in one of the ongoing threads about tomorrow?

of course, horoscopes are written by people. could easily have been on purpose.
e.g., see these horoscopes
or this, which openly analyzes bush & kerry astrologically.
this one discusses what each of their presidencies would be like if they were elected - looks bad for bush, but not great for kerry either.
Anyway :). that was silly but kinda fun.

So you're saying George W Bush is a cancer?
Man, that kind of pisses me off. (yeah, I know you weren't being literal.. as a cancer, though, I am).

I tend to heed sports team success - Texas sports teams, for example, crested a few years ago. Now, Mass. teams are dominant.
Coincidence ?
Pull in a few other disconnected facts - like the breakup of that NASA shuttle over Texas including, what was it ? -either Crawford or GW Bush's birthplace but also, definitely, Palestine, Texas.
Next thing we know, the Red Heifer will get mad cow disease and then the apocalypse will be called off.

There is absolutely no way that this was coincidental. These things are written by people. And Elle's horoscope writer clearly has a chip on his or her shoulder, and a mischievous sense of humor...

What mdn (and logovisual) said. Any horoscope writer knows that people will be looking up candidates' signs on election day.

So...if Kerry wins, that means no long, drawn-out legal process. That might make it worth it.
It would be interesting also to see horoscopes for November 3.
