The 80s - the Reagan "Reaganomics" years. On March 30, 1981, an unstable drifter named John W. Hinckley shot Reagan in the chest during an assassination attempt.

 

Have you read about the Zero factor? It was a predicted curse that any U.S. presidentiables who have been elected in the years ending in ZERO. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 and was assasinated. JFK was elected to office in 1960 and was assasinated. Reagan was elected in 1980 and he was shot in the chest.

I remember the protest of UP students against the Education Act...They were dispersed by water cannons on the the way to the Batasan....Then there was another protest rally in Liwasang Bonifacio..Again the rally was dispersed by water cannons....The UP President was Edgardo Angara....The mayor of Cagayan de Oro was Aquilino Pimentel...

in an interview with the bum, john said he did it to "impress" actress jodie foster

and she was not impressed

 

have a copy of the zero factor novel somewhere- trashy reading.

mas maganda are the similarities in the circumstances surrounding lincoln and kennedy's death.

Here's a famous DEATH coincidence between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy:

 

Abraham Lincoln - was first elected to U.S. congress in 1846

John F. Kennedy - was first elected to U.S. congress in 1946

 

Abraham Lincoln - was elected as the 16th President of the United States on November 6, 1860.

John F. Kennedy - was elected as the 35th President of the United States on November 8, 1960.

 

Abraham Lincoln's killer was John Wilkes Booth, a Southerner, was born in 1839. John Wilkes Booth was shot before he could come to trial.

John F. Kennedy's killer was Lee Harvey Oswald (others believed there were more than one killer), a Southerner, was born in 1939. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot (by Jack Ruby) before he could come to trial.

 

Abraham Lincoln's killer John Wilkes Booth committed his crime in a theater and then ran to a warehouse.

John F. Kennedy's killer Lee Harvey Oswald pulled the trigger on Kennedy from the window of a warehouse then ran to a theater.

 

Abraham Lincoln - on the day he was assasinated Lincoln told a guard, William H. Crook: 'I believe there are men who want to take my life...and I have no doubt they will do it....if it is to be done, it is impossible to prevent it.'

John F. Kennedy - he unsuspectingly told his wife, Jackie, and his personal adviser Ken O'Donnell: 'If anyone really wanted to shoot the President of the United States, it's not a very hard job. All that one has to do is to get to a high building some day, with a telescopic rifle, and there is nothing anybody can do.' 'Some say' proved to be that day. He was shot 2 1/2 hours later.

 

Abraham Lincoln - was a historic civil rights campaigner, was shot on a Friday, in the back of the head. His wife was with him.

John F. Kennedy - was a historic civil rights campaigner, was shot on a Friday, in the back of the head. His wife was with him.

 

Abraham Lincoln- was shot in Ford's Theatre.

John F. Kennedy- was shot in an automobile made by the Ford Motor Company - a Lincoln.

 

Abraham Lincoln's death was succeeded by a Southerner named Andrew Johnson, born in 1808.

John F. Kennedy's death was succeeded by a Southerner named Lyndon B. Johnson, born in 1908.

 

Abraham Lincoln- had a secretary named Kennedy, who advised him not to go to the theatre in Washington on that fateful day.

John F. Kennedy- had a secretary named Lincoln, who strongly advised him against going to Dallas, Texas.

THE ZERO FACTOR JINX – since 1840, no U.S. president that has been elected in office in the year ending in zero left the office alive. Every U.S. president chosen EVERY 20 YEARS thereafter often has some terrible fate awaiting them. Here are the list:

 

William Henry Harrison - was elected in 1840, the ninth president of the US. But he died of pneumonia in the following year while still in office.

 

Abraham Lincoln – was elected in 1860, was the first president to be assassinated and the third president to die in office.

 

James Abram Garfield – was elected in 1880, was assassinated during his first year in office.

 

William McKinley – was elected in 1900, was assassinated during his first year in office.

 

Warren Harding – was elected in 1920, died of heart attack, still in office.

Franklin Roosevelt – was elected in 1940, died of a cerebral hemorrhage, still in office.

 

John F. Kennedy - was elected in 1960 as the 35th president. He was assassinated in 1963, still in office.

 

Ronald Reagan – was elected in 1980, was shot in the chest by John Hinckley on March 30, 1981. Reagan finished his 2 terms (1980-1988). He was the only one who had survived the Zero Factor jinx. He died June 5, 2004.

 

George W. Bush – was elected in 2000. He is currently seeking a second term in office. Will Bush survived, as with Reagan, the Zero Factor jinx? Has Reagan broken the jinx in 1980? If the jinx has indeed been broken, what accident will await Bush?

William Henry Harrison - died becuz he gave his LONG INAUGURATION SPEECH (40 MINUTES AT LEAST) IN THE RAIN, HATLESS AND COATLESS

 

James Abram Garfield – was shot by a frustrated OFFICE SEEKER

 

William McKinley – was elected for the 2nd time 1900, was shot while on a receiving line (pumila pa kc) by an anarchist

 

Warren Harding – died of unknown causes (heart attack daw) due to the disease of GRAFT and CORRUPTION plaguing his office. kung hindi sya namatay malamang IMPEACHMENT ang kaharap nya

 

Franklin Roosevelt – was elected for the 3rd 1940, died of a cerebral hemorrhage, in his 4th term

 

Ronald Reagan – was elected in 1980, was shot in the chest by John Hinckley on March 30, 1981. Reagan finished his 2 terms (1980-1988). He was the only one who had survived the Zero Factor jinx. He died June 5, 2004.

I think, its because of Ronald Reagan that we are now flooded with artistas in politics.

student canteen VS eat bulaga

gma 7 vs rpn 9

IQ7 vs gilette battle of champions

eddie ilarde/bobby ledesma vs tito/vic/joey

coney reyes/helen vela vs chiqui hollmann

 

talagang noon pa lang magkalaban na

 

interesting to note that TVJ started on DISCORAMA in channel 7 hosted by Bobby Ledesma. the trio would read jokes mostly on a news setting

si coney reyes hindi pa born again, probably screwing all her co-hosts at student canteen including edie ilarde..si edie ilarde still known as political bakla kasi nagpatakot kay makoy..Tito sotto was a comical farce ...(he still is now at the senate..)
