So, What Are Your Predictions For The Upcoming Week?
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that this coming week is going to roller-coaster ride.

It seems like things are reaching a breaking point in the market, government, international relations, Iraq, etc. The house of cards cannot hold much longer.

Anyone dare to make a prediction? You win a Chimpy/Cheney punching bag if you are correct! ;)

1. I don't know exactly what's going to happen
Edited on Sun Apr-17-05 12:04 PM by tridim
But I do think the house of cards will come down this week. I just don't know what card will cause the house to topple. Delay might just blow the whole thing over as he huffs and puffs about the mean old Democrats out to get him.

Edit: There will be one huge "house of cards" thread this week that will be nominated for "greatest thread" by at least 100 people.

2. Predictions for this week:
A new Pope will be chosen before close of business on Friday.

Senator Frist, THE CAT BUTCHER, will bow to pressure and withdraw from his upcoming appearance with the Family research Council. Corresponding editorial opinion will continue to condemn the GOP's attempt to propagandize church-and-state issues.

At least 3 more high-profile Republicans will call for Tom DeLay's resignation. He will survive the week but will be gone before Mother's Day.

Kay Baily Hutchison will be arrested for skinny-dipping in an east Texas farm pond.

Just kidding on that last one.

8. I hope it's not Ratzinger!
Hope you are right about Frist and DeLay - and Hutchison!

I predict that all three will make asses out of themselves.

9. I hope it's Rodriguez of Honduras. Not Ratzinger.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that THE CAT BUTCHER, Bug Man, and Kay Baily all have a patch of bad luck.

4. I'll be frank (some more): I've got a bad feeling.
Moday: general bad news for G.O.P. More criticisms leveled at DeLay, from Republicans and MSM, some rumblings about Frist. Possibly a new Pope, (yes as soon as tommorow).

Tuesday: I can't even type it.

Wednesday: Still can't type it.

Thursday: Use your imagination. Will there even a Thursday?

5. Are you psychic?
A lot of people in the Meeting Room and Astrology forum are also getting a sense of upcoming disaster.

Are you serious about Tuesday & Wednesday? Personally, I think the financial markets are in big trouble and that another attack is on the way, although I don't know where or when.

10. Patriot day Tuesday
May be a day to watch, it seems like wingnuts like to use that day to make statements like blowing things up and killing people.
I don't know, but I'm going to be hyper aware next week and if it
s quiet walking on eggshells afterwards.

11. That's what I think, as the market tanks and the scandals
bubble up, they are going to need a big DISTRACTION. I sense it's almost time for another event to "inspire" support for the war machine.
