Predictions - 2008!

New Years is a holiday I can get into. I think I've always associated with college bowl games which were generally positive experiences for a life-long Oklahoma Sooners fan.
Oh, there were long moments of darkness during the 1990s but I still enjoyed rooting for the Big 8 or the Big 12.

With that stated, I wrote these predictions for the new year on a message board I frequent & then I thought to share them here, so watch as I channel the great Criswell!

PREDICTIONS!

American fatalities in Iraq will pass 4,000 for no given reason (probably early in the year).

The war will not end in 2008. Just because it's pointless to continue a war without an objective doesn't even begin to slow the war's inertia. Apparently.

George Bush will make plans to stay in the public eye after office in a cynical ploy to change history's impending verdict of his administration. Without realizing it, this plan will essentially make him the star attraction of the world's first human petting zoo. You'll be able to buy shelled peanuts to feed him but smuggling in pretzels will get you arrested by the Secret Service.

Whoever is elected President - provided he or she is not already clinically insane - will have a nervous breakdown filled with overwhelming suicidal despondancy shortly after election night that will immediately be covered up. Be careful what you wish for....

OK, so I wimped out and went with the safe bets. Think you can do any better?
Now to channel John McLaughlin (who isn't even dead!) -
Bye bye...
