2008 Predicitons

Last year I predicted a couple of major events that could happen during the 365 days ( not forgetting the extra second) of 2008. In the not too distant future (when I can be arsed), I will make some predictions for 2009.


Here's how I did.

1. The Second Coming of Christ
Judging by the euphoria that surrounded the outcome of the 2008 US election I think it's safe to say that alot of people believe that Mr Obama is indeed the reincarnation of one Jesus H. Christ. I wonder how long it will take for all his followers to turn on him and start demanding he is crucified on Superbowl Sunday because he didn't bring about world peace or walk on water?

2. Making contact with Aliens
Depending on who you speak to "they" are already here but until they start applying for asylum at Dover I'm not convinced. I don't doubt for a minute that they exist somewhere out there but if any of them have looked in on us over the last couple of millenia and witnessed our evolution from a blood thirsty warring race of people to a blood thirsty warring race of people with nuclear weapons and reality T.V., they have probably decided to pass right on by.

3. No General Election
No surprises that commandant Brown wants to hang on to power for a while longer is it? Even if he did call an election, do we really want a bunch of Etonian nitwitts in charge? A General Election boils down to two choices as far as I can see - 1. A Smiling Scottish assasin or, 2. A Silver spoon fed nicompoop.

4. More Doom & Gloom
I was really hoping that I would be proved wrong on this one but Ive had to ask my doctor to increase my prozac prescription.

5. Rain
As my pseudonym suggest, I'am indeed a genius.
