It's like the McLaughlin Group, but with more swearing.
Make a prediction about anything and everything. It doesn't have to be funny or true, but if it isn't true, it should probably be funny.
Here are mine:
I'll start with some low hanging fruit, I predict 2011 will be the year of The Palins. You think there's been a lot of Palin since 2008? You ain't seen nothing yet. Sarah Palin will officially throw in for Prez. Todd Palin will be on Dancing with the Stars. Bristol will get her own show on VH1 or E! or TLC. Willow will get a recording contract and record a duo with Justin Bieber. And ESPN2 will have live coverage of Trigger in the Special Olympics.
Speaking of Bieber, and why the hell not, in 2011 Bieber will channel his inner Jim Morrison and go off the deep end. This will not matter, because by then the Entertainment Machine will have crowned a new young sensation for 2011. It will probably be Willow Palin.
In 2011, not only will we not withdraw from Afghanistan, we'll probably send some more troops in for a "short duration" to put out some fires. Obama will finally relent that he has not fucking clue when we're going to leave that sink hole of a military engagement. But, nobody will really give a fuck, because by then, the Entertainment Machine will have crowned a new Reality TV show sensation for 2011.
In the year two thousand and eleven the Space Shuttle fleet will be officially retired for good. The private industry replacement for the Space Shuttle will sputter and flounder ala the Stealth Bomber. On a shoestring budget, NASA will announce a stop-gap measure to keep supplies flowing to the International Space Station. It will be called, The Big Ass Slingshot.
Finally, in 2011, PD.COM will see the return of Ambassador Klok Kaos. We will see that he has decided to make a slight shift in his musical career aspirations. Gone are the industrial metal trappings and bullshit. He will have traded the sparkly pant-suits for tweed and polyester. Gone are the drum machines. In their place, saxaphone. That's right, AKK will be Smooth Jazz.
Please to be sharing your predictions.
"And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places."
Matthew 24:6-7
Some things just never change.
Predictions for 2011?
New Season: Disaster.
That's right, as the end times rapidly approach, weird shit is bond to happen. Sitting in my lovely Midwestern home, I have witnessed tornadoes, ice storms, some pretty bitching fires, an earthquake, and what has been deemed an inland hurricane. By my count, I have only a few major natural disasters left to experience, and only 2 years left to do it. Now, there is only one logical way for this to happen. Seismic activity along the New Madrid Faultline will increase, causing a tectonic shift that will cause a large volcanic cone to rise in some yokel's corner field. This "volcano" will belch smoke and noxious fumes, and attract tourists and scientists from all over the town. When a sufficient number of people have gathered round without the decency to throw in a virgin or two, the volcano god will grow angry and spit molten rock and hominy covering the surrounding area in lava and ash. Now, because I was faithful to the volcano god, my home will be spared.
However, due to the gases released by the volcano and the increased carbon emissions from people driving their vehicles to see the volcanic eruption, the net sum of greenhouse gases will reach critical levels, causing an exponential increase to the rate of the melting polar icecaps, causing the entire eastern seaboard to flooded. The new East Coast will be the western half of Indiana, the Gulf of Mexico will engulf every state south of Kentucky, and The Pacific Ocean will claim Alcatraz, then decide California's not really worth the effort, and stop rising. However, seeing as how this is America, the White House will immediately recognize this as the terrorist plot that is, and launch all of their nuclear arsenal into the ocean. the massive atomic explosions will cause a fundamental shift in oceanic seismic patterns that will result in, that's right, a motherfuckin' tidal wave. Again, being just far enough away to watch the rest of Indiana get covered in water (take that you fuckers), but not actually deal with the consequences myself, I will once again escape unharmed.
Now, at this point, things would be getting out of hand, if it hadn't been for the fact that the obligatory nuclear winter happened. I know what you all are thinking: "But Phox, nuclear winter wouldn't actually cancel out global warming". of course if fucking wouldn't. It would cause a flash ice age. That's right. There will be a nuclear ice age. By now, it's getting to be late December, and 2012 will be just around the corner. What will happen then? I am not really sure.
Bristol Palin will become the next Britney Spears. No shit. Having had a taste of personal fame on Dancing With The Has-Beens, she's going to melt down very publicly and very completely. Sarah Palin will announce for the presidency way too early, and will get beaten like the family mule (her numbers are now down to 49% from 67% among the hard right, contrasted by Huckabee and a few of the others who are all above 53%).
The new teabagger/GOP house will industriously punish all the poor people who voted for them, amid the cheering of the very same fools. The hideous things that happen to them will be blamed on Obama, and they will be at least partially correct.
The war in Afghanistan will balloon like Sally Struthers, and Iraq will once again bog down as Iran gets a little payback by shipping the nutjobs weapons and RDX.
The TSA will be granted further powers, and the abuses you see now will seem comical by comparison.
There will be new provisions added to the Media Shield Act, to make investigative journalism involving the government and certain corporations illegal.
Electronics prices are going to go up significantly.
Kim Jung Il's kid will take over North Korea, and all of his friends and supporters will have accidents, leaving the kid as a puppet to the hardliner generals.
Weather in Europe and the East coast of America will worsen significantly.
Bristol Palin will have Sheriff Joe Arapio's lovechild.
Julian Assange will be given Political Asylum by the Vatican,
Britain will withdraw from the EU,
Starbucks will open it's first Internet Cafe in downtown Kabul,
Somalia will be annexed by China,
Hawkwind will play at Colonel Gaddaffi's birthday party,
Hugo Chavez will the first President of the United States of Latin America,
There will be a drastic and complete failure of the 2011 Cocaine crop, leading to the collapse of the Federal Reserve,
Weltberger will mysteriously acquire some social skills,
Iran & Iraq will recombine to become the Democratic Persian Republic, significantly changing the power balance in the Middle East,
Bin Laden will be arrested in a routine traffic stop in William Shatner's De'Lorean, just outside Graceland,
Princess Diana will be seen descending in a "fiery chariot" over the Gaza Strip, throwing condoms and Mc'Vities Rich Tea Biscuits out of the window like confetti.
On the 1st of January all known supervolcanoes (+ one unknown) will erupt simultaneously, throwing the world into a decade-long volcanic winter. Only a handful of humans will survive.

A sports related one: I predict the Pats will win the Superbowl. This will be the New England areas only ray of hope as the Sox, Bruins, and Celtics all fail mightly. Oh yeah the Revolution too but who the hell pays attention to that shit anyway?
The Paul family will be declared the most sane voices in politics.
Someone will make a movie using an original idea and it will flop at the box office.
Tornado Alley will officially be moved to the Eastern Seaboard.
The Green Hornet will suck balls.
Bret Favre will pose for Playgirl. In the humor section.
Lindsey Lohan will finally give up and make a hard-core gangbang video. It will become the only porn in history to lose money.
NBC will reveal it's newest show, "Dress the Homeless" in which foreclosed families will compete in humiliating challenges in exchange for second-hand clothes rejected by Goodwill.
Stephanie Myer and Dan Brown will co-write a historic thriller about a priest searching for a secret egyptian document that describes how to make a zombie. The twist: The zombies don't smell like corpses, they smell like roses.

In that vein, Letterman will announce his retirement and Paul Schaeffer will go with him. Craig Ferguson won't get the gig though. They'll give it to Oprah. Lenny Kravitz will be the new band leader.

Leno is such a fucking twat. He's like the George W. Bush of comedy. He fucks things up to hell for everyone around him, but he comes out squeaky clean in the end.
Oh yeah, W. I predict that wikileaks will provide some cables that anti-climatically reveal how much shit he was talking when he got us into Iraq. I'm talking, clear-cut unrefutable proof that it was a house of rancid, blood soaked cards. But people will still defend the fuck out of him. We'll still be the fuck in Iraq.

I like Ferguson, he is funny.
By the end of 2011, unemployment will have inched down to 9.2%, maybe it makes it down to 9.0%. The GOP will simultaneously blame Obama for it not going low enough (they'll be party correct) while also employing some logistical gymnastics to claim they caused it to go down (which will be a big pile of horseshit).
Automated CCTV facial recognition will be trialled in a major UK or US city using data bought from Facebook.
Perhaps that's a 2012 prediction, but I'm sticking with it as inevitable.
Entertainment will get increasingly vapid.
Speaking of which, celebrity deaths and calamities:
Glenn Beck will be found to be on some sort of drugs. This of course, won't damage his popularity in the slightest.
Donald Sutherland dies of natural causes
Paul McCartney won't die
Lindsay Lohan pregnancy
Pope Benedict XVI dies of natural causes, between October and December
The Chigaco Cubs make it to the world series and then promptly get swept.

The reason for the decline will not be increased employment, but people having their benefits run out.
(so the Republicans claims won't be a complete pile of horseshit because they will have moved to block further extensions)

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

She is very good looking. I wouldn't kick her out of bed. :lulz: 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.

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.

A hurricane in New England, greater than category 3 and it's going to be nasty. It will cut Montauk Point off from Long Island and buzz straight up Narragansett Bay, causing a failure in the Providence Hurricane Barrier and throwing 20 ft of water into the city and up into the Blackstone and Pawtuxet Rivers, causing the entire state to sink except for the Johnston Landfill, College Hill and Federal Hill. FEMA and the government will do nothing, as 90% of the nation's Red Cross is overseas tending to a natural disaster in New Caledonia. We accept aid from the Netherlands and Portugal, but all boats from France are turned away.
Many governments around the world will raise taxes to get rid of their budget deficits; this will destroy the economy, many large companies will fail and their websites will shut down causing a total breakdown of the internet (don't believe me? imagine what happens when the top 5 search-engines, youtube, amazon and facebook are gone.)
Alternatively the governments won't raise taxes, and the needed budget cuts will destroy the economy; same results as above.
Everything that isn't produced in china or india will become more expensive but nowhere near as expensive as food will become.
You will not get a raise.
Well, the last one is certainly true for my dad, for the next two years. Actually, with the raise in VAT and the rise in cost of trains, petrol, food etc and the fact his last pay rises were still below the national inflation rate means he has taken what is effectively pay cut.
Also, Sarah Palin's twitter has gone mysteriously quiet. I think she is definitely up to something, and is keeping her mouth shut and fingers not typing so she cannot offend anyone.
I have to assume there are Republicans constantly, secretly, begging her to not run. I'm not 100% convinced she will run but right now I'd put the odds at over 50%. Just because it will get her mug on TV more and probably result in more money coming her way. I think she likes the spotlight. I don't think she'd actually like the actual job of being President.
The problem is Palin consistently polls high for support in the party - far higher than she does among the general population. So the few thinking Republicans left would certainly rather she didnt run, but they do not really have a say over such matters anymore.
It's kinda like how the GOP sees healthcare as a SOCIALIST DEATH MACHINE CONSPIRACY TRAP, while actually most of the provisions prove popular in the polls. They're just completely out of touch on key issues.
Not that rationality exists in this conversation, but it would seem like Palin would be best as a spokesperson/powerbroker/kingmaker, someone who wouldn't run for president, but who would throw her support behind, and generate buzz and energize the base.
I refuse to support healthcare until the government includes Death Panels.
Yeah, and I think that is all the rest of the GOP like her for anyway. I think even if many of the Tea Partiers were honest, they wouldn't want her as a President either. She's really best as their Mascot. Probably gives them some extended longevity too. Because as soon as they lose a big face like hers, their days as a prominent political movement would likely be numbered.
I kind of want to see Michele Bachman to run. If nothing else, it would be funny.

Many governments around the world will raise taxes to get rid of their budget deficits; this will destroy the economy, many large companies will fail and their websites will shut down causing a total breakdown of the internet (don't believe me? imagine what happens when the top 5 search-engines, youtube, amazon and facebook are gone.)
Alternatively the governments won't raise taxes, and the needed budget cuts will destroy the economy; same results as above.
Everything that isn't produced in china or india will become more expensive but nowhere near as expensive as food will become.
You will not get a raise.
Shit, they're stalling. Now it will be
worse! though i no longer believe it will happen before 2015, they'll just stall and stall and continue to keep the wound wet making the problem worse and worse. Even China will not escape the coming collapse.
You will still not get a raise.
My prediction for 2011 is buy bitcoins you fuckwit! Wait, this advice is late, do not do this now.
