Every year around this time, I gather up friends and make predictions about what the year (or next few) will bring. Everything from who will be named to the Supreme Court to what new fast food will rise to the fore to what companies will crash and burn and what sports teams will dominate. So take your turn and make a prediction on anything you like. I'll save these up and next year we can see who has ESP.
A few of my favorites:
Rehnquist will resign and Clarence Thomas will be named Chief Justice. Bush will nominate a hispanic to the Supreme Court. Democrats will fight it and alienate this group.
Dick Cheney will have heart trouble and resign and Frist will be appointed VP.
Two other justices will resign including Sandra Day O'Connor.
Enough Moderate Republican Senators will defect to give Democrats the majority.
There will be a scandal around some religious leader(s) or groups who go too far.
The New Diet: The Rice and Fish Diet
Paris Hilton will get married.
Google's share price will double again but they will refuse to split the stock, following in the steps of Warren Buffett.
Apple's I-Pods sales will drop.
All Russian women will win the four majors in tennis.
Please everyone offer up your best predictions for what's going to shake down in 2005! And then everyone else argue about it!
Women will continue to be refused equal access to sex performance enhancing drugs under the guise of protecting us from unforeseen side effects. Women will rise up and start staging protests across the country.
