Through the Grass Darkly

Step aside Criswell, Jean Dixon and Sylvia Browne,

These are Arnie Harris's PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT DECADE:

** Economically, by 2017 ,2008-2009 will be looked back as the "Good ol' days!".

** By, 2020, one reality show will change its name to "Are You Smarter Than a Pre-Schooler?"

** The Republican Party will collapse in 2012 when Dick Cheney challenges Sarah Palin for the nomination and GOP voters realize there is no lesser (or better) of two evils..

** By 2012 Barack Obama will be so unpopular that Joe Biden will drop him as his running mate.
Relatedly, in late 2011, Obama will announce a second visit to the home of his forbearers. Kenya moves and leaves no forwarding address.

** As terrorist attacks on airplanes continue, all passengers will be required to fly stark naked.

** A new sport will arise in the Northern climes---Polar Bear-fishing.

** Tiger Woods will return to the pro circuit with a squeaky-clean image, after going through Sex Addicts Anon, meditating on a mountain in Nepal for a year, sitting in an Indian sweat lodge for two years and donating millions to Bimbos Without borders.

** Despite the star doing three years for spousal assault, Two and a Half Men will continue its ratings-topping run---Charlie Sheen will be replaced by a stuffed six-foot tuna.

** O.J. Simpson will again be turned down for parole after his anguished plea that his trophies were being "sold at cutthroat prices" proves counterproductive.
