Blagojevich will resign just before he is impeached, but not before that.
Afghanistan will be the straw that breaks the back of the American Empire sending us into the sinkhole of financial ruin.
I thought Iraq took care of that.
Gee, Don, this sure looks like a sinkhole to me.
It is a sinkhole in a sinkhole and the slide down is beginning to accelerate. Look around and watch the culture spiral through the abyss. Enjoy this Xmas, it may be our last normal one.
Also, John King will pay no price for “buggering young children after luring them into his van down by the river with promises of candy and then feeding them rum balls and Jesus Juice before repeatedly sodomizing them.”
without filing bankruptcy and getting an Obama presidency bailout.
Al Franken will be sworn in on January 6.
and Carolina will win the Super Bowl.
It’s F-ing Golden.
Wearing white after Labor Day will become a felony in Connecticut.
i predict that logistics in dc will be a nightmare during inauguration festivities.
Condi is the next target of shoe tossing and I will be drunk the whole Inauguration weekend.
To the surprise of no one, Republicans will stonewall every one of Obama’s legislative initiatives, but worse– his agenda will be resisted by blue dog Democrats as well. Frustration looms…
BINGO you win. The repugs and blue dogs will fiddle while our nation is sucked into the abyss. Then real change will begin. Whether its well armed wingnuts seizing control or a democratic shift to the left is the only question. The wingnuts have all the guns. They have hate and violent answers to world problems. I have a bad feeling my son will see the end of this experiment in Democracy in his lifetime. I may see it too.
someone really needs to organize The Progressive Citizens Militia.
is that against the law?
No. Also according to the wingnuts reading of the constitution we are allowed weapons up to and including 155mm howitzers.
Here in ‘white-tail country’ everyone’s got guns.
However, those without brains tend to get hurt.
The penguin on top of your television set is going to explode.
Now I’m extra glad I don’t have a TV.
Speaking of penguins, I might see some next week when we head for a few days to Tasmania’s northeast coast.
The Republicans in the Senate will talk the talk about holding up Eric Holder’s confirmation as AG because of his handling of one of Bill Clinton’s pardons. But once Bush gets done with his long list of blanket pardons, they’ll back off for fear people might make comparisons.
An Obama/Kennedy/Clinton agreement does indeed pan out:
The equation:
HRC->State->SCOTUS and/or Chelsea->Congress
and
C.Kennedy->Senate->Presidency(yes!)
equals
B.Obama->President

Bush will use a blanket pardon like “for any and all crimes know or unknown” i hereby pardon Dick, Rummy, Condi.. And then he will resign during the last 10 minutes of his rein and Cheney will Pardon W.
there’ll be an invasion of Pakistan…
the p.r. campaign in the UK, U.S.A, Israel and India has begun and will become more visible. It’s an adventure of folly, a slippery slope to a financial and geopolitical Armageddon…that will ignite the world.
The invaders will be vaporized..Pakistan is not Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan – their military and intel is Taliban with nukes and delivery capabilities.
The markers:
Gordon Brown
U.S. Senator John Kerry
Israel to help India prepare Commando raids into Pakistan
and recently, Robert Kagan in Wapo (paraphrased:) ‘the international community should declare Pakistan, “ungovernable” send in troops to help Pakistan government round up and kill the bad guys’
The more things change the more nothing has changed.
The Giants will not repeat. Sorry, Boo.
Caroline Kennedy will be the new senator from NY
Eagles will win the super bowl (hey if i had told you the Phillies would win the world series you would have called me crazy too)
we will have true universal health care within 18 months
paula abdul will leave american idol
amy winehouse will not live thru 2009
booman will get a really good job working on the tweety for senate campaign
my puppy’s website will attract the attention of a literary agent who will get us a multi million dollar book and movie deal (bubba is WAY cuter than that dumbass marley) http://www.myspace.com/bubbathegreatdane
im leaving for florida tomorrow for a couple weeks….thats not a prediction….i predict it will be cold and rainy for the next 3 weeks while im there…..2008 was a horrible year for me personally (romantically speaking since i had to get rid of my lying cheating self centered narcissistic alcoholic boyfriend) but 2009 is looking better.
i will get a new tattoo
But the Philadelphia Whatevers, owned by Bon Jovi, won’t repeat in the Arena Bowl this year.
Bradford will win the Heisman. Oh wait, that was last week’s list…
Other than those few things, Anna, what was wrong with your ex-boy friend? (almost wrote fiend)
lol….and why did it take me 8 years to break up with him?
he was really cute and he let me waterboard him.
he is already cheating on and lying to his new girlfriend…its amazing that some things never change.
Bush won’t pardon enough people, and so there will be grumbling on the right from those who weren’t pardoned (Rumsfeld, maybe, or Ted Stevens or even Alberto Gonzales).
During 2009, Obama will be sufficiently upset by Republican obstructionism that he’ll finally have to consider the Nuclear Option — trimming cloture votes to a 55-vote threshold.
My buying power will go down in 2009.
Since Neocons need war to survive as a species they will work very hard to re-weaponize the India-Pakistan animus.
Obama will have to replace all his major war/foreign policy/security chiefs within the first year else risk being a ‘failed’ president in his first term.
