"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."
Teresa Heinz Kerry's latest loony statement -- that pro-Bush hackers could have gotten into the electronic voting machines during last year's election -- gave me my first misgivings about having criticized her. She may not be playing with a full deck.
