McCain doesn't need rope; he's lucky! I'd heard that John McCain is superstitious, but I had no idea it was this important to him.
Don't try to pass a salt shaker to John McCain. He won't take it from your hand because it's bad luck.
The Arizona senator also won't throw a hat on a bed — it means death will soon visit the household — but he regularly carries 31 cents in lucky change in his pocket. […]
Mr. McCain has dozens of superstitions and rituals, many stemming from his days as a Navy fighter pilot, a notoriously superstitious bunch. He carries a lucky feather, a lucky compass and a lucky penny — not to mention a lucky nickel and a lucky quarter.

Well, at least it's not a rabbit's foot. After all, those didn't help the rabbit much at a critical time. But whadda hell, Reagan used to consult some phoney astrologer or other, so I suppose it shouldn't be suprising.

Political slogans come from many different sources. I happen to think this one has an aroma of truth. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996 |
