Born in Los Angeles, Harris was best known for sporting a Jamaican accent for dozens of TV commercials that aired in the late 90s for a “pay-per-call” service offering free psychic readings. ... Officials estimate in just three years, Harris’ service billed $1 billion through 900 numbers and credit cards and collected roughly half that amount. Promoters for two Harris-linked Florida corporations, Access Resource Services, Inc. (ARS), and Psychic Readers Network (PRN), were charged with deceptive advertising, billing and collection practices in 2002. The companies later agreed to forgive $500 million in customer bills, return all uncashed checks to customers...

This woman, Elizabeth Joyce, predicted that Bill Clinton would be impeached involving a woman named "Veronica" several years before it happened. Close to "Monica". Here are her visions on the 2008 election (DISCLAIMER: I, IN NO WAY AGREE OR DISAGREE, AM ONLY THE MESSENGER) Elizabeth Joyce says: "I knew a week or so ahead of time that this message was coming. I really resisted it as I have a strong aversion to putting out a negative message like the one you are about to read. I have a tendency to shut out fear-based messages of any kind in my own...

Very seldom will I venture a prediction on a major race like president, especially over a year out and with each party having 10 candidates openly vying for their nomination. In addition, it is the most open presidential race in my lifetime. It has been 80 years since a president was not seeking reelection and a sitting vice-president was not seeking to move up. The race is truly wide open. I am going out on a limb and predicting that Fred Thompson will be chosen as the republican nominee for president at their convention this time next year and that...

I don't claim to be a prophet, but I do try to pay attention to things and connect the dots. Many times, this gets me in trouble as I see things coming that are beyond the horizon of folks who are not trying to pay attention and blissfully unaware of the dots scattered all around their feet. They just write me off as a nut or a bore or both when I sound off these warnings. Later, when what I warned about goes down, they are panicked and act all surprised and get upset. Most of them don't remember that...

In June of 2005 psychic Jeffry R. Palmer predicted that several planets similar in size to our Earth would be found orbiting distant stars and that the discovery of new planets will reach the hundreds if not thousands by the end of 2006. These predictions may have seemed far fetched, even absurd to many of us. But recent astronomical discoveries may prove Mr. Palmer's predictions to be correct.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - President Bush on Tuesday appealed for the nation's patience for "difficult and dangerous" work ahead in Iraq, hoping a backdrop of U.S. troops and a reminder of Iraq's revived sovereignty would help him reclaim control of an issue that has eroded his popularity. In an evening address (sic) at an Army base that has 9,300 troops in Iraq, Bush was acknowledging the toll of the 27-month-old war. At the same time, he aimed to persuade skeptical Americans that his strategy for victory needed only time — not any changes — to be successful.

I was flipping the radio dial changing channels and almost fell out of my chair when I heard this!So is this the kiss of death for their credibility with their 'seal of approval?'

As 2002 was drawing to a close and I prepared to celebrate the birth of a new year with friends and family, I decided that it would be nice to know what to expect in the coming months. I?ve never been one for psychics, but I thought, what the heck. It could be fun to get a jump on fate and peek into the future. So, I made a list of questions, then sought out that most famous of mediums, friend to insomniacs everywhere, Miss Cleo. Unfortunately, I could not find Miss Cleo (she was either doing time in a...

Miss Cleo’s lawyer went on the offensive Wednesday after two months of near-silence, asserting his client has a gift of clairvoyance and suggesting she’s the subject of a latter-day witch hunt. “It does not take a crystal ball to see that the allegations against Miss Cleo may be politically motivated,” attorney William Cone Jr. said in a statement. “Is this Florida politics, or a bad remake of the Salem witch trials?” The state of Florida in February sued the TV infomercial superstar, whose real name is Youree Dell Harris, of Southwest Ranches in Broward County, alleging a pattern of deceiving...
