Bush Invades Indian Burial Ground

File this one under Good Morning News. Or maybe Sad Proof That Fucking With Indian Burial Grounds Wont Get You Cursed.

“Of all the items rumored to be in the Skull and Bones’s possession, Geronimo’s skull is one of the more plausible ones,” said Alexandra Robbins, the author of “Secrets of the Tomb” (Little Brown 2002), a book about the society. “There is a skull encased in a glass display when you walk in the door of the Tomb, and they call it Geronimo.”

But if justice isn’t served—and it wont be—the skull stealing Bush ought to at least provide some juice to the Daily Show, which has fallen off drastically since the grandson left office.
