Every year, taking a page from Art Bell, I take predictions for what will happen in the upcoming year. If you have a prediction, something you know or feel will happen in 2008, post it here. On Jan 1, 2009, we'll take those predictions and see if they happened.

So, did the predictions y'all made on Jan 1, 2007 come true?

kowaiyukidono: Bush will, despite pressure from several angles, not get himself impeached.
DING DING DING

jenndolari: My 2007 predicition is roughtly the same as my others - a state will seceed, but this time do to the left-shift of the country. I'm looking at you, Mississippi.
fragment00: Talk about a weird coincidence though, I wanted to call in and say that a state will attempt to secede in '07 also.
BZZT!


kireishojo: i'll make a fairly safe prediction. i predict i will be married by the end of the year. and more of a long shot. i predict i will have at least an AA degree
Well, I know you got married, but I can't remember if you got the degree. Did you?

fragment00: That you will actually get on the prediction show next year right after the guy with the vision of aliens opening a taco bell on the remains of the SERN collider.
BZZT! I didn't even try. :)

jessie_c: Safe prediction: Bush will make an ass of himself. Again.
DING! Kind of hard of him NOT to make an ass of himself.

hemlock_martini:
Prediction: on a global scale, shit gets heavier.
Gravitation constant remains the same - BZZT!

faerie_gift:
Our prime minister in Australia will be voted out for being the division-ist, xenophobic, anything-phobic twit that he is. >=/
BZZT!

and...
gidget_ca and I will be married =)
Ding?

lunomrulino: I predict that none of Art Bell's predictions come true.
I dunno...anyone out there listen to the show and find out?

'Ding', surely? He's gone.

I have two:
Dennis Kucinich will demonstrate scientifically provable psi powers on live television.

And with a (hopefully) more realistic view:
The majority of people who hated 2007 for what it did to them will be sad to see 2008 go.

not the AA degree. need one more term of classes.
/me shakes a fist at the world.

[kireishojo.livejournal.com]

in terms of predictions.
The dollar will continue to fall leading to canada being the major north-american world power.

New safe predictions: There will be more Rethugnican sex scandals. The Westboro Baptist Church goons will continue to spew out hatred in the name of god. Bush will continue to make an ass of himself. The sun will rise in the East : )

The War of 1812 will only remain a memory.

This actually did happen, and he got replaced by a socialist dweeb who's systematically going back on all promises he made that were actually worth a damn.

It's almost guaranteed NOT to come true actually - the new guy won't be sworn in till January 2009 ;-)

I have three this year.
One:
These glowy kitties will become a marketable (if horribly expensive) pet.

Two:
This right here will come to nothing but some amusement and people wasting money on Microsoft stock.

Three:
Marvel will fire Greg Land, or he will quit.

Not just 'Ding' there – more like a raucous 'CLANG!'. ;)

[kowaiyukidono.livejournal.com]

They did say "elected", not "sworn in". So they're safe, there.

Regarding Art Bell's predicitons. You can find them here:

You tell me?

My predictions for 2008:
There will be dancing in the streets in celebration that this is the very last year of Geroge II's reign.

They Beijing Olympics will the be focal point of some political protests. (this is a gimme)

The most common respons to February 29th will be, "Oh yeah.... huh."

Lessee....I think that Barack Obama will get the Democratic Primary, Ron Paul will get the Republican Primary. And nobody will care.

Also, I predict that there will be a landslide victory for either one or the other. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that Ron Paul will win.

I will have a license and a car. But will still not drive anywhere.

Hello there.

1. Hillary Clinton will win the Presidency.
2. Life will go on.

My bad. My total research on the matter was "I dont' seem to remember this happening...."
