In 1555, Nostradamus wrote: "Come the millennium, month 12 |
Did Nostradamus write these words? No. One reason we can be sure of this is that, at least as far as Bush detractors are concerned, the "prediction" comes across as clear and correct with a minimum of interpretation. In actual practice, the prophecies of Nostradamus require a great deal of creative fudging to make them seem relevant to current events.
Consider the following serious effort to extract the outcome of the election from a real quatrain by Nostradamus:
Nostradamus foretells loss for Bush in 2000
Even great prophets can't always be right, right?
