Momaw Nadon:Mitt Romney will be the 2008 Republican Presidential nominee. Hillary Clinton will be the 2008 Democratic Presidential nominee... Mitt Romney will be elected the 44th President of the United States. The election will be extremely close.I agree with all three of those. I'd add that I think the Pubbie VP will be someone from the midwest, maybe Illinois -- because Hillary isn't going to be winning over anyone the way she's been acting toward Osama, oops, I mean Obama. If Mitt misses the nomination for president, I think he'll wind up on the ticket in the VP slot. One way or the other, Mitt will be on the ticket. Rudy will be tapped to campaign for the ticket in California, so he'd better watch his mouth in the meantime.
Momaw Nadon:I predict the New England Patriots will win the Superbowl... There will be riots across China during the 2008 Olympics. Smog in Beijing will oppress the athletes. The Boston Red Sox will NOT win the World Series.I'm not going to make any sports predictions, but two of those sound plausible. :')
Momaw Nadon:Microbial life will be found on Mars.It's already been found.
Momaw Nadon:An earthquake above 7.0 will strike California.I think there'll be a quake affecting Greece, epicenter either on land, or offshore resulting in big waves.
Momaw Nadon:Fidel Castro will officially be pronounced dead.I predict that the death of Fidel Castro will be announced at least five times on FR, long before it actually happens. I mean, at least five *more* times. ;')
Momaw Nadon:Dow Jones will be above 15,000 at the end of 2008.Quite agree, as long as the interest rates are stable, the 30 will continue upward. What is the number now?
Momaw Nadon:Windows Vista will be greatly improved by Service Pack 1 which will be released in early March.Why, is there anything wrong with WV? [innocent look]
Momaw Nadon:A major Supreme Court decision will uphold an individual's right to keep and bear arms.I think there are two possible outcomes to the case that is going to be heard; one is, a deeply divided court (meaning, the four gun-grabbers will dissent) will issue a ruling upholding the 2nd amendment, or a muddled consensus ruling that says nothing and have to be sorted out later. No chance that the court will gut the 2nd.
Thanks SunkenCiv!
Would you care to try your hand at a quatrain for 2008?
I think there'll be a quake affecting Greece, epicenter either on land, or offshore resulting in big waves.6.5, depth of more than 70 km, epicenter 80 miles southwest of Athens. The VOA page also notes that earthquakes are common in Greece. :')
