“Blame The Anchoress. She started this.”
January 1, 2007
Happy New Year!
We hope that comes across as sincere and thoughtful..
Anyway, we moseyed over to The Anchoress and noted her post on New Year’s resolutions. In addition to an excellent roundup of interesting links and other year end predictions, she speaks of her own attempt at gazing into the crystal ball.
In 2006, I made mine. They were stinkers. Clearly I am no sage or prophet! Although I did get numbers 7,8, 10, 12, 13, 17, 19 and 21 mostly right. Of course…pretty much everyone would have predicted the same, so I’m no good at this game!
Well, that got us to wondering how well we did at our predictions for last year.
The Anchoress may have been off, but an examination of SC&A’s past predictions indicate will retain our stated excellence in New Year’s prognostications
Bagels and lox, coffee and cheese danish will remain on NY menus, despite the threat posed by Thai, Ethiopian and other revolting third world cuisine.
Hillary Clinton will lock the drawer containing the FBI files of her political enemies.
Chicago will retain it’s also-ran status in the Pizza wars.
The next baseball dynasty will based in San Francisco.
Donald Trump will not enter a Greek monastery on Mount Athos.
Neither will Sigmund, Carl or Alfred.
The UN will not relocate to Omaha.
The Palestinians will renounce violence, suicide bombings and the Keffiyah just as soon as Israelis renounce education, family, their faith and civilized behavior.
The French will continue to celebrate the Palestinians.
Wisconsin license plates will continue to display ‘America’s Dairyland‘ with pride.
No one cares about Wisconsin license plates.
Al Gore will trim his manly beard.
John Kerry’s family will be unable to secure billion dollar contracts in Iraq, as they did with Vietnamese, with Kerry’s help. Heinz may not be able to own a ketchup factory in that Arab country, as they have done in Vietnam.
The Heinz claim that the factory in Vietnam was necessary because ketchup needed to be ‘fresh,’ will prove to be untrue.
…More Predictions.
Pork will remain non kosher.
There will be no Imams dressed up as Rabbis this coming Halloween.
There will be no illegal mass crossing of the Rio Grande by Americans.
The WWF will be found out to be ‘not real’…
Civilized society can only hope that next year the World Series will include the San Francisco Giants.
