I totally read that as “Felons” the first time.

I’m surprised that the strike is still ongoing. Nine times out of ten, I assume that business will prevail against unions in a labor dispute in this day and age. However, Hollywood is a different beast altogether. How does industry expect to “win” against a union where half the members are unemployed anyway, and where half the others are still being financially supported by sympathetic actors/producers/TV show hosts? Just admit that your industry is communist, give the writers what they want, and let me get back to watching Jim play pranks on Dwight.

McCain / Pawlenty win by carrying NH, MN, WS, FL and OH. Only Iowa goes from Red to Blue.

GOP loses a net of 2 US Senate seats and gains 7 House seats. At least 2 dems change parties after the election. Nancy gets replaced as SOH. Ried’s popularity continues to plummet back home in NV.

Sonny becomes unpopular in GA. GA GOP has crisis over the inability to pass any meaningful tax reform. Gridlock in a one party state.

Falcons surprise everyone by making playoffs as a wildcard with a record of 9-7.

The writers strike will end late in the year, thus allowing me to return to work…finally! Or I will be forced to find a job in another industry.

Paul Broun and Erick remain officials in waiting.

Peach Pundit is still unable to top the number of comments in the Cindye Coates thread from last year, despite my best efforts.

UGA does not win the SEC East.

Wallabies win the Tri-Nations (yea, right).

The Baggy Greens lose a series (yea, right).

Icarus lives up to his New Year’s Resolution (yea, right).

I say something insightful (yea, right).

New Orleans is crazy!!!!

Just got finished eating Cajun Callards and Black-eyed Peas…., I decided to surf a little bit and see what was going on in Iowa and New Hampshire-

I saw this and it made me smile

2) Mitt Romney wins the GOP nomination, and immediately adopts Hillary’s platform as his own for the general election.

3) Ron Paul breaks low double-digits in the early states, and hangs in the race until the convention. It doesn’t revolutionize the world, but you do start seeing GOP leaders quietly shifting to a greater emphasis on constitutionalism. It once again becomes somewhat respectable in GOP grassroots circles to oppose interventionalism and nation-building (i.e. the 2000 GOP platform).

4) There’s a terrorist attack shortly before the election, just like in Spain a few years back. Effect on the election is uncertain, but it is certain that Republicans will privately rejoice.

5) The Georgia legislature passes some kind of change to tax policy, far less ambitious than what’s been talked about.

6) The Georgia legislature does absolutely nothing with regard to spending policy.

7) Georgians bitterly oppose changes to building codes requiring low-flow toilets and faucets, until the worsening drought causes draconian shutdowns in government services and private business. At that point, Georgians begrudgingly accept conservation measures… while franticly striving to avoid compliance for themselves.

Glenn Richards settles into a Tom Murphy speaker-for-life role, and makes no moves to seek higher office. Casey Cagle and David Shafer continue to be the two smartest people in the Georgia GOP, and are groomed for bigger things.

9) Incumbents survive their primary challenges (i.e. John Linder, and even Paul Broun). No surprises in the general election (i.e. Saxby cruises).

10) Falcons struggle. In college football, a UGA professor wins the Nobel Prize, for inadvertently discovering a new branch of quantum physics while trying to rationalize the BCS rankings system.

@Bullmoose “less partisan?” hmmmm a boy can only hope…

I hope everyone is boning up on their Mandarin, it will be mighty useful to know…

Democratic and Republican presidential tickets of John McCain and running mate Fred Thompson, and Hillary Clinton and running mate Barack Obama — Draw huge crowds of 25,000 to October rallies at Centennial Olympic Park.

Speaker Richardson and Gov. Perdue continue to make Casey Cagle look like the most intelligent man in Georgia Politics.

Johnny Isakson remains the actual most intelligent man in Georgia Politics, with Senator David Shafer continuing to groom himself to take that title one day.

Senator Mitch Seabaugh announces a 3 picture deal. Each of them

Stephen Colbert was the first to call the Huckabee surge, on the heels of his Colbert bounce…

And at least one of those predictions are correct.

I think it’s a blood bath to take his place in the Senate between a few of our Washington Representatives and maybe a very popular State Senator. Jim Marshall may run for that open seat as opposed to against Chambliss.

Politics across the country become a lot less partisan and more bi-partisan as a result of McCain’s landslide victory and 2010 looks to be a redefining election in America.
