2006 Predictions
Ok so some of these will be no brainers, others may be stretches and others my imagination going nutty but enjoy.
1. Iran will make a provocative step against the west. The dark end of this scenario is testing Nukes. The nightmare scenario is testing the nuke on Israel, its most likely target. Even if it is not a nuclear action, they will do something to finally push there aggression towards the west to a head.
2. Someone other then the Yankees will have a payroll topping $200 million and still not win the Series.
3. In a stunning surprise Stanley Cup Final the Islanders will win their first Cup in over 20 years, in game 7 versus the Detroit Red Wings. It will be considered one of the greatest hockey games ever played. No one will notice.
4. The GOP will maintain control of both house but with slimmer margins. Sen. Chafee will switch parties the day after the election.
5. Pres. Bush approval rating will hover around 45-50% for most of the year, end just north of 50%.
6. Israel will make another gigantic concession in the hopes of peace which will be quickly dashed. They will be blamed for the ensuing violence.
7. John Kerry will say something pompous and arrogant that will contradict a past statement of his. (I said a few were no brainers)
8. Michael Steele will be the lone bright spot of the 06 elections for the GOP winning the Senate seat in Maryland.
9. The movie of the Da Vinci Code will receive mostly iffy with a few strong positive reviews and will be the big box office draw of the year narrowly edging out the new Superman.
10. Someone will be called daring for saying something that people have been saying for years.
11. After a year with no good albums, I will finally get a new good album but by a surprising artist.
12. My comic collection at work will finally overcome the rest of my desk, forcing us all from the building ( I said some would be stretches).
