Predictions

Here are my predictions for national politics in the coming months:

1) Gas prices dip below $2 just in time for the election. They will then rocket back up to around $3 (by January)

2) Dirty laundry will continue to be aired. I’m betting on accusations of homosexuality and cowardice … just like I hear from the kids in karate class.

3) We’ll see “surprising republican gains” in districts which use Diebold electronic voting machines. It’ll be just enough for the republicans to maintain control of both houses.

4) Just after the election (in December), both Iran and North Korea will come bubbling to a head, overflow the pot, and spill out into regional disturbances.
