Something to keep an eye on

i received the following factoid in an e-mail from my dad:

For seven decades the Washington Redskins told who the next president
would
be. Read this tidbit from the Associated Press:

Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the
team's
final home game before the presidential election has correctly
predicted the
White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If
they
lose, the incumbent party is ousted.


i haven't had the chance to determine if they have a home game this weekend, but i hope so and i really hope they lose.

There's one Sunday, I believe.


Thing is, how many presidential elections have we had since 1936 (when the Skins moved from Boston to Washington)? 17 times. Isn't that like the Zero-Year Curse? I mean, Bush hasn't died yet....

hey, 17 times in a row is still pretty impressive and i'm trying to be optimistic and superstitious here. work with me.
