2006 Predictions

mrnoodle · 01-05-2006, 02:32 PM

Someone's going to die after following some whacked out herbal regimen they heard about on TV and get the FDA all up in the snake-oil industry like white on rice.

More hurricanes, but Mississippi is ground zero, not Nawlins.

No interest rate hikes at all. DJIA = 11k plus, unless we get another terrorist attack.

No successful domestic terror attacks, but a close call over the summer.

Saddam gets executed, we find out bin Laden has been dead for 2 years.

GM goes belly up, is bought out by a foreign interest.

Iran makes some kind of move, hoping to use our indecisiveness over middle east policy to get a Democrat in the White House so they can operate with impunity. Well, with UN bluehats buzzing around like mosquitoes, but basically with impunity. Attempt fails. Dems still don't have an agenda outside of "impeach Bush" so we'll have to settle for whoever the GOP throws in there...maybe McCain. Newt Gingrich tries for the nomination, but fails.

About a dozen more gay cowboy movies. Maybe not cowboys, though. Like, sailors.

A really, really big forest fire happens. The biggest ever. Somewhere like Siberia or Canada.

Big upswing in X-Files type stuff -- UFO sightings, Mary on tortillas, etc. Ghosts lose some market share though.

At least 5 more major metropolitan areas ban smoking in public places.

Gasoline = $1.50/gal at some point.
