A Different Kind of Faith-based Initiative

It's not as good as the voodoo guy who tried to jinx Bush with dead animal blood, but at least they're trying:


Priests to Purify Site After Bush Visit


Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday. [...]

Tiney said the "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace. He also said the rites -- which entail chanting and burning incense, herbs and candles -- would prepare the site for the third summit of Latin American Indians March 26-30.

Bush just gets no respect. No respect I tells ya.
