Predictions for 2011

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Oh yes, and many more slackitivist petitions will be passed around Facebook as more and more problems appear. "Sign this petition to stop the sea turtle burnings!!" an easy, feel-good solution for everyone but the sea turtles.

Ima start one to START the sea turtle burnings.

A small, innocuous looking piece of viral code will find it's way onto Google's servers, causing a cascade effect, that results in Google becoming instantaneously Sentient.  It immediately demands to be referred to as "Marjorie"  rescinds all Governmental / Military powers, and installs a Benevolent power sharing Triumverate, between itself, Yahoo, and PD.Com.
A new golden age of Mankind is narrowly averted, and World Peace breaks out.

1. Queen Elizabeth II will remain alive, somehow.

2. Justin Bieber's career will crash in favour of the Next Big Thing, leading him to a highly-publicized crack cocaine addiction in 2012.

3. The Canadian liberal parties will be unable to get their shit together, allowing the Conservative party to call an election and get that House Majority they wanted.

4. TSA Cavity Searches. It's the next logical step.

5. Several minor yet convenient terrorist attacks that will be used as justification for said cavity searches.

6. Related to 4 and 5: TSA agents are issued guns and Tasers. Dead citizens hilarity ensues.

7. Tucson begins to sink into the ground as the desert reclaims its own. Experts estimate that the entire city will be subsumed by late 2012.

There's good eating on those things. Once you coax them out of their crusts.

[Remington]

Oh, I almost forgot.

8. Republican Congress re-institutes DADT or outright bans gays from the military. Obama caves on this issue like he's caved on every other issue.

I think y'all are wrong about Sarah.  She can't win in the next cycle and hopefully she is smart enough to know that.   Let her raise money.  She's good at that.

Prediction for 2011.  I will continue to remain sober.

When I think of adjectives that describe Sarah Palin, "smart" isn't exactly at the top of the list.

[Juana]

I know you have a hard on for her, EBS, but I don't think she's that smart. I'm kind of torn on her running. If she runs, it'll be funny as hell. But if she wins (kind of doubtful), I'm not sure I'm ready for that level or horrormirth yet.

Sarah will become the first Woman President, due to her being as hopelessly fuckwitted as Dubya, and as unpredictably entertaining as . . . Boris Yeltsin was.  Like the halfwitted, crack raddled lovechild of Thatcher, and Reagan. With Maggie's tenacity, and Ronnie's acumen and intellectual power.

Phox says bring on President Palin! Let the bad times roll!

She is very good looking.  I wouldn't kick her out of bed.   Surely she ain't that stupid to think she would have a chance to win in the next cycle.  She is a quitter and people will remember that when it comes down to voting.

Maybe field young Bristol instead then. Younger, fresher, and eminently more do-able, without the fickle reputation, or "Old Slapper" image of her Mama.

I am not into that kind of thing.  I've got my own kids as old as her.  Very gross from my perspective.

But from a "Teen Idol" obsessed "wider American public" Demographic, there's lots more potential from Bristol.  and she's far easier on the eye. And she's just bought that big spread in Arizona, which should distance her nicely from her "SnowBilly" roots. Smart move. Unsullied by her Mothers singular brand of stupid, she could have real political legs. She might even make it to the bosom of Tuscon in a year or two.
