"Devil's hand" (or "il cornuti" in Italian) is a universal, visual shorthand for "Hail, Satan."

The Associated Press and Reuters called the above bush family hand signs, the 'Texas Longhorn or 'Texas UT' symbol.  People still seem to think the signal is solely the 'hook 'em horns' UT symbol.  We know this to be true but this doesn't answer our primary questions:

1) If the symbol denotes Texas football or UT, why are people like Silvio Berlusconi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad doing it too?  They have no links with Texas.

2) Why is the Bush family so obsessed with the signal, displaying it dozens of times during both the inauguration and the evening ball? A few times maybe we could accept, but why this many?  What has Texas sports got do with a national inauguration?

3) By Bush being an occult member of Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove, it certainly shouldn't be surprising that people would suspect him of praising Satan.
