Predictions for 2008

I think it is interesting to look at two of the top stories and how they received airtime. Death rampages at Virginia Tech and in Pakistan both hit me as the biggest stories of 2007. In Virginia Tech, I know much more about the killer than the victims. In Pakistan, I know nothing about the killer, and have been able to focus on the victims. There are a lot of reasons probably for this, but I am left with a preference for hearing about those who lost their lives rather than those who caused such harm.

I predict that people who truly choose peace will find it.

President-elect Dennis Kucinich will hint that he will, after being inaugurated, pardon Geo. W. Bush for all crimes foreign and domestic and beseech the American people to move on into a time of healing....and somewhere, Gerald Ford will smile......peace

As an aspiring screenwriter and an avid television watcher, my opinion on the writer's strike goes both ways. I predict that the writers will hold out until they get what they want, but if I have to watch one more episode of reality TV I will take up a new hobby of either staring at linoleum peel or going to Iowa to watch the canidates have cat fights.

I just want to know how he has been able to stay so intelligent, and
eloquent. Not to mention looking handsome.

The "liberal leaning" New York Times will astound conservatives and liberals alike by appointing ultra-conservative Bill Kristol as an op-ed columnist. Wait...this prediction for 2008 is ridiculous...the appointment happened at the end of 2007.

I will have my house paid-off in 2008.
Therefore, I predict the world will come to an end shortly thereafter (on a Thursday) BEFORE I can enjoy the extra cash every month.
