Does blood type determine personality?

This was an interesting article. Although I had heard about blood type leading to successful diets (haven't tried the program), I hadn't heard of this:

Does blood type determine personality

I am Type A and it's been awhile since I had reason to check but must be positive as Farm Boss is O positive and I didn't have problems during my pregnancies.

"Type As may seem calm on the outside, but inside, you’re filled with anxiety and worry. You’re perfectionists and often shy and sensitive. Usually introverted, you’re stable and thoughtful. You make good listeners and are sensitive to color and your surroundings. You like to be fashionable and are up on the latest trends, but never flashy or gaudy. You like romantic settings and often shun reality for fantasy worlds. A is most compatible with A and AB in the love department. Common career choices: accountant, librarian, economist, writer, computer programmer, and gossip columnist."

There are a couple of places where I disagree (I am not shy but am an introvert), but overall it is pretty close. Do elements with which we were born like blood type, numerology (based on name given to us or birth dates), lines in our palm (which can change over a lifetime), and astrology (natal readings using exact time and place) really tell things about who we are, who we will become?

(Politics)

Could people be left or right politically because of blood type? Could it impact how we think?

Here's an example of where I am going with this. By my nature, I don't assume that because I would like (or don't like) to do something, everybody else feels the same. I see my own desires as unrelated to what even a friend of mine might desire.

For several years, righties like Rush Limbaugh have been saying that since lefties disapprove of the war in Iraq, what they really want is to see the effort fail. It always amazed me. How could anyone say such a thing? What kind of human being would wish death and destruction on other people simply to be proven correct?

The answer came when Rush Limbaugh, in the midst of the worst economic crisis people my age can remember, said he hoped Obama would fail in everything he tried to do. Now if Obama fails what does that mean for the United States, even for the world? Why would Rush Limbaugh wish that on everyone (except himself. At his economic level, he's probably immune to it).

It seems to me that Rush assumed the left wanted us to fail in Iraq because it is how he would have felt. Basically he would not want to see someone of an opposing political agenda be proven right even if it was for the best.

I have left and right wing friends. I don't know a single one who hoped the wars in either Afghanistan or Iraq would fail. I don't listen to every left wing pundit, but did anyone actually hear one say what Limbaugh did? From what I know, Americans wanted to see the effort succeed because it is best for everyone. Left or right, we hoped the high cost in lives and dollars would be proven to be worthwhile. At this point, it is yet to be proven either way, but there is still the hope.

What does it mean that people like Rush Limbaugh or Tom Delay say they would wish the worst for us as a nation so that they would be proven right? I have seen Delay smirking over it as though how clever he is. What kind of person thinks that way?

If I did Limbaugh's astrology chart or looked at his palm, knew his blood type, would I see a man where winning matters more than anything else? Was he born this way or was he taught it? Is he a man who becomes so caught up in win/lose that he loses all track of where that might lead? Does this explain his failed personal relationships?

The Japanese take this business of blood type very seriously. Should we? How much of what we are was decided at birth? We can then either work with it or against it. We can overcome traits that are destructive or become swallowed by them. I have always believed there are choices and nothing is written in stone. Or is it?
