Not like this psychic thing would be anything new, though. Replace your crystal ball with clear-cut political theories and meager intelligence information, call it an assessment of threats and a vision for the future - and you'll have the current policy in Washington. Of course, not everyone in Washington resort to eerie subvocal droning, or wave their arms around or take to using cheesy smoke- effects, or conjure up demons or speak with spirits to make their customers happy. But the comparison holds pretty well nonetheless.
