George Bush's personal Apocalypto


Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits Guatemala next week.

The "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site at Iximche of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace, said Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization.

But surely Bush is up to speed on Mayan culture after watching Mel Gibson's movie, Apocalypto.

And all he plans to do is have a short pick-up game of hoops in that sacred "ball court" thingie in the temple plaza (see photo at right). Where's the harm in that?

Let's all just lighten up, OK?
