The moral of this event is to not make bullshit predictions about superstitious, national leaders. The authorities in Sri Lanka have arrested a popular astrologer who predicted that the president will be ejected from office, police say.
Chandrasiri Bandara announced last week that the government would flounder in September and October because of political and economic problems.
The opposition have condemned the arrest and warned that the country is heading towards a dictatorship.

I think I'll check back on it, 'long about Sept.
