Paging Cayce Pollard

 There's an article in this week's Newsweek about an "intuitionist" who is on retainer for up to 5 clients for $10k a month for her ability to 'sense' how things are going to work out. I'm not sure whether this is a fraud, a mass of whishful thinking or something similar to the intution displayed by the central character in Gibson's Pattern Recognition. In any event, it's something I would love to see scietifically analyzed. I'd give the woman in question more credit if she didn't play "I'll guess what's in the bag" games while on speaking engagements, or say lines like ""I don't want to see what he [her 16 year old son] did with that girl until 2 a.m.," she says. "But I can."

Lady, I'm not psychic, but I know what your 16 year old was doing with that girl until 2AM too. Can I have my $10,000 now?
