Every New Year's eve a group of our friends get together to dine and celebrate, including a number of traditional events ... one of which is that each of us forecasts what will occur in the following twelve months. Then the next New Year's eve we re-read these predictions and award a prize to our best oracle. This year, I think I have exhibited remarkable prescience (if I do say so myself.) Here were my predictions last time (6.3 right out of 10 ... and there is still a month and a half to go) which, if I were alllowed to win, surely would take the prize:
• Democrats will lose their majority in the House but not the Senate
• Obama will have a nervous breakdown
• Russia will shut off natural gas to the EU
• Scott Brown is elected to the Senate
• Gitmo will not be closed down
• Two new Supreme Court justices will be appointed (after much ado)
• Iran’s nuclear facilities will be shut down (or destroyed)
• Terrorist attacks in NYC, Los Angeles and Dallas
• General Motors will go public
