Predictions for 2010
I know you've all been waiting for this all year, so here it is.
Here are my predictions for 2010 (actually, other members of The Loveshade Family contributed to this; they just don't want to admit it):
* The HEALTH CARE REFORM so praised by Americans (that is, those who don't have health care), will pass, but will not work as planned. Detractors will say it's a huge waste of money, and will put America in the toilet. However, supporters will say it's at least better than it was, and it will continue to get better. Rush Limbaugh will say at least I'm still alive.
* ELVIS PRESLEY will be spotted in a shopping mall in New Jersey.
* The AMERICAN ECONOMY will show significant improvement; Democrats will claim it's because of their fine work, while Republicans will claim it's because of improvements made while George W. Bush was still president.
* An American group will work very hard to prove that BARACK OBAMA DOESN'T QUALIFY AS PRESIDENT. The group will be suspected of having ties to a dissident group overseas.
* The supposedly dim-witted PARIS HILTON will still maintain the facade of being dim-witted, but will none-the-less cleverly manage to get herself in the news for yet another scandal.
* A male AMERICAN ICON of purity and wholesomeness will be caught with his hand somewhere people don't think it belongs; i.e., in someone else's pocket.
* A female BRITISH ICON of purity and wholesomeness will be caught exposing a portion of her anatomy that the prudish will not think should be exposed.
* The Law that DEATHS ALWAYS HAPPEN IN FIVES will once again be proven this year. At least of those deaths will be unexpected, a famous singer, and a famous actor.
* QUEEN ELIZABETH I will not die, but will have a significant medical problem. (Sorry, your Majesty).
* A major figure in the MIDDLE EAST will be violently killed.
* In the United Kingdom, there will be renewed interest in an ANCIENT ACTIVITY. It will be something that's been popular in North America for years.
* HIP HOP will still be popular with many, and still hated by many others.
* I will perform a legally-recognized DISCORDIAN WEDDING, and there will be much rejoicing.

Some of these are predictable, but you're going out on a limb on some of these predictions! But you've done well in the past, so good luck. And Happy New Year!

Your predictions may be true,
I cannot say,
But one thing I know
is Elvis Presley ain't gay!

And I predict monkeys will fly out my butt. You make some predictable predictions and then some that aren't likely to happen. But then a year from now you'll take credit for the predictable and think everyone will forget about where you were wrong. Well look for me here a year from now pointing out how terribly wrong you were. Count on it.

Revy Love has been very accurate so far! I'm sure he'll be right a lot again. But you'll see.

You peeps are arguing over things that haven't even happened yet. Although I suspect the wedding is already planned. The rest, we'll see. I heard deaths happen in threes, not fives.

Predictions are not prophecies. Prophecies come from God, predictions from man. Predictions are flawed. Of prophecy, the Bible says that any word of prediction that doesn't happen was not of God.

One thing about the future is it always shows people can't predict the future. We'll see it when we see it.

I just saw Elvis flying on a giant penguin. So there's one down :-)

You shouldn't predict the future. That's what makes the economy go bad. People depend on false promises and hope for something that won't happen.

So Amy, that's why nations never had economic collapse before the 1950s, huh?

Your predictions are more accurate than Pat Robertson's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9VV2O9-v6o&feature=related
