I will try some.
1. The stock market will finally find its "bottom" in March and begin a quick then slow steady rebound, but not to the levels it was at.
2. Troops moved to Afghanistan from Iraq will finally capture Osama Bin Laden.
3. There will be at least two Gulf coast TC landfalls, one early and one mid season with the latter being a major, possibly CAT5 somewhere close to the Tampa Bay area.
4. There will be two Atlantic coast TC landfalls this year with one being somewhere between Virginia and Connecticut. Both will be CAT2 or below.
5. The Houston Rockets will finally have all their players healthy and get to the finals, but lose to the Celtics.
6. The Houston Astros will continue to be a slightly above average team.
7. FEMA will be totally gutted and reworked after proving once again with its response to Hurricane Ike that it cannot handle any major disaster in an efficient and helpful way.
8.Fidel Castro will die this year.
9.There will be a major assassination attempt on President Barack Obama.
10. The first West coast hit by a TC in many years will occur.
11. Southerngale's affair with Bon Jovi is finally revealed to the public. She however reconciles with her husband and promises to never do it again.
There may be more, but that is enough for now.

12. STORM2K is recognized publicly by the NHC as the best tropical weather site on the net(I wish they would give out that type of recognition!)STORM2K once again breaks the record for number of members on site during a TC and is publicly recognized by a states Emergency Management office for our help in dissminating up to the minute TC information.
13. The Pakistani/Indian conflict will escalate into at least a border skirmish with at least on Nuclear bomb detonated.
14. Israel will attack Iran wiping out their nuclear ability.

I have to add one more so I get at least one right.
15. I will become a grandfather for the first time in February(She is due in March).

[Ed Mahmoud]

There has been a solid and deranged core of people that despised George W Bush the past five years or so. Keith Olbermann comes to mind. Plays, novels, posters, all imagining an assasination.


The US Secret Service is that good.


If President Obama doesn't make it a year, it'll be Yellowstone, or his cigarette habit.

[Ed Mahmoud]

9)The Eagles win the Superbowl...finally

Not impossible, but as the lowest seed in the playoffs, every game will be on the road.


I do think they'll win their Wild Card round game, which will be enough to save Andy Reid's job.

Nope. There is also the outside possibility that a terrorist organization will attempt the dirty deed. Imagine the civil unrest in this land if such an event happened. Remember our civil war and riots of the sixties?
