Okay, I'll start:

1) Blagojevich walks scott free

2) My salary continues to remain stagnate

3) The bailout results in a massive debt to taxpayers with zero benefit to them

4) Iran aquires nuclear weapons and we (including Bush) failed to do anything about it

5) Jamie Gertz continue's to become even more attractive as she ages

I predict that political predictions will remain futile and a waste of time.

117% of all predictions will be mindless, straight-line extrapolations. After all, 87% of this year’s and 57% of last year’s were.

I have never found Jamie Gertz the least bit attractive. So for her sake, I hope she becomes more attractive!

The Dems and Repubs sacked the Treasury and have bankrupted the Republic. Everyone in Congress and the Bush Administration should be tried as traitors and felons and imprisoned.

And we don’t have Obama in office! Wait until you see the screwing of your wealth under him!

Our government is out of control and must be shut down and replaced.

Bush will be credited for anything that is negative happening around the world and Bam will be credited for any positive happenings.
Democrats will move to the left and Republicans will move to out left the left.

A shocking prediction:

Sarah Palin tears the roof off CPAC in February with a meaty, policy-oriented speech, securing her status as the candidate to beat for the GOP nomination in 2012.

Michael Steele wins the RNC Chair.

Republicans take back the Va. Governorship.

Blago will be impeached, but not convicted, over the attempted sale of the Obama Senate seat. He will be convicted on other unrelated charges.

Patterson appoints a dark horse candidate, not currently in the top tier, to replace Hillary.

Oil, gold and silver will reach record high prices after someone in the middle east detonates a nuke and Israel responds with it’s own nuke. Mecca ceases to exist and we begin to drill in ANWR

SCOTUS will deliver some kind of split-the-baby decision on Berg v Obama, allowing zer0bama to keep his presidency but no one else who comes after him could do what he did.

Well here it is:

I resolve to not watch any TV news programs and to live in total denial for at least 4 years.

Israel will bomb Iran

Our economy will crash

Oil prices will shoot back up after some sort of war erupts

California will get a big earthquake

Bush will still be blamed for everything

First post (from Momaw Nadon) got one out of 13 predictions correct. I love looking back and seeing what a difference a year makes.

I will lose some battles, but will hopefully finally win the war of becoming a firefighter.

I will make it to more airsoft games.

I will get a second job.

Ayn Rand’s and Robert Ringer’s beliefs will appeal to me more and more, especially since the government continues to prove them right.

The servers at Michelangelo’s (and Friday’s if I get employed there) will continue to convince me that servers are the enemies of dishwashers.

I will offend someone for not giving Obama respect (he has to earn it first).

Obama will turn out to be just another politician, despite all the premature, overblown, and undeserved praise being heaped on him.

Obama will break his election promises, blaming Bush for having to do so.

In spite of the election of an African-American being elected in a presidential election, the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the nation will continue to whine about racism and oppression.

In spite of the “victory for color-blindness” and “the dream” coming to pass, the above groups will continue to demand special treatment for African-Americans and the race card will continue to be used.

The government will remain ignorant about what has to be done to help the economy and will dig the US into a deeper hole trying to help everyone, which is neither its job nor its right.

Jumpstarting the economy, saving the environment, and/or stopping terrorism will be used by the government as an excuse to ignore the Constitution further, if not totally set it aside.

Obama and Congress will begin to take advantage of their monopoly of power, in a very bad way.
