It's that time again! Make your predicitons for the new year. While you are at it, check how you did last year HERE.
Solson and Flint did pretty well. I did horrible!
1. India and Pakistan avoid war, major conflict is seemingly averted and the 'Big Story' starts fading away when there are no more terrorist attacks for the year.
2. Everything will heat back up when the US attacks Iraq and everyone waits Iraq's response on Israel. They launch many missiles and one of them is tipped with a chemical weapon. It causes no deaths. Israel responds by contributing forces to the US and UK's invasion of Iraq.
3. Saddam Hussein avoids capture and goes into hiding.
4. ObL is still out there with stock tape after stock tape.
5. Pakistani gov't is toppled but the US props up another pro-Western gov't after some significant struggle.
6. Major Protests in China on level with Tianemen square.
7. The US soccer team reaches the quarter-finals of the World Cup which gets pretty significant sports media coverage.
8. Swedish hockey team wins gold in Olympics.
9. Economic collapse in Eastern Europe. Major protests in Czech Rep,Hungary and Poland. Conflict sparks up between Poland and its Eastern neighbors.
10. Putin consolidates power further. Russia under much better control then the "Wild West Capitalism" years under Yeltsin.
Hillary is on record as saying she has NO intention of running for president!
Global warming will occur on the North East coast in the months from June-September.
Global cooling will occur on the North East coast in the months from November, onwards till April 2003
Bill and Hillary Clinton will tell a bunch of lies.
Hillaryspeak for IS running, hehe. Depends on the meaning of intend. LOL
Remember Gore would have lead us to chaos at 100 MPH. Bush will lead us to chaos at 98 MPH.
Patrick Henry, last year.
Sounds pretty good for this year as well.
The "War on Terrorism", like the "War on Drugs" serves more purposes than is obvious. Look for an acceleration to the NWO and an UN - NATO super-national army.
1. Dow and Nasdaq will drift lower, rebound somewhat but close lower at year-end 2002 than 2001.
2. Interest rates will move up bringing new home buying and the purchase of new cars to a halt.
3. The fed will continue to try and jump start the economy with limited success as it can't seem to get off the deflationary track.
4. The Dems will push through more "unemployment benefits" and try and use "tariffs" to protect American jobs, which will make the situation worse.
5. Through massive voter fraud in several Blue regions, notably Cal. Penn. MO. Fl. and the overall ineptness of T. Lott the Dems will maintain control of the Senate and capture the House.
6. T. Lott, in a vain attempt to become Senate Majority Leader again, will try to appeal to the "moderates" and cave in to the Dems on Bush's major policy issues and conservative nominees.
7. My Congressman, Tom DeLay, will consolidate power in the House only to witness voter fraud and too many Republicans trying to run as "moderates" result in the Republicans losing the House and DeLay and the Conservatives getting the blame.
8. The Dems will take several Governorships from the Republicans with Texas electing an Hispanic Governor - a Dem. The Dems will also take the Lt. Gov. in Texas. The US House members from Texas will be evenly split with the Repubs keeping Gramm's old Senate seat.
9. The Middle East will continue the same as 2001 with no resolution, although Arafat will survive another year.
10. America will lose a true giant when Ronald Reagan dies.
11. All of Britian will mourn the passing of the Queen Mum.
12. Usama will be found and tried, and America will suffer another Terrorist attack of some sort.
The above are NOT my wishes just my gut-feel predictions. And I admit no one has ever referred to me as Andy "The Greek" with regard to my prognostications.
Repub Woody Jenkins 4 hours after to polls closed led by 100,000 votes with all but New Orleans boxes in. The New Orleans boxes were no where to be found. Several hours later they turn up with an amazing 107,000+ votes for Mary Landrieu, daughter of former New Orleans Mayor "Moon" Landrieu. She wins by 5,000 votes.
Jenkins fully documents 6-7,000 votes cast illegally, but Trent Lott refuses to have Senate take up issue when all the Congresswomen march on the Senate daring the Senate to unseat a female.
It is this reason the Senate is now in the hands of the Dems and Lott is no longer Majority Leader.
And it is this reason I predict the disaster of the Repubs losing both Senate and House. The Repubs are too afraid to fight the Feminist and Minorities for fear of being labled Racists, anti-female, anti-Hispanic, etc. etc. by the all knowing liberal media.
lol.
But not 3657. More like 3669...

You sicko. ;^) Happy New Year!
