I'm a Seer!

It has been a year since I started this blog. And I have noticed that I am right on some things. This is because I try to honestly predict human nature.

Here is what I have predicted:

• The Rolling Stones are Irrelevant

This is because 60 year-olds are no longer focused bands. Instead, they have things to think about like family, or grandkids (or, why my kids don't have any yet), or how many more years are left to retirement, or that motorhome they are hoping to buy, or those symptoms that are popping up all over their body. An article appeared on the Drudge Report that indicated that the Stones were having trouble with ticket sales in the UK. And I predict continued problems, too.

I have a solution. It's called Bellagio. Or Caesers Palace. Or MGM Grande. Or New York New York. I.e., sign on with one of the Casinos on the strip to perform like ten weeks of the year. They will get an audience, and they have the rest of the year to goof off, or see doctors, or do whatever else old people do.

• Book of Daniel will die.

And it's now dead. My comments are somewhere way above. But I think that it failed for the reasons it failed.

Another predicition:

• The Seahawks will not win the Superbowl (due to some curse).

And I'm right there, too. It's obvious the Seahawks should have won. But then the officials conspired to make sure they lost by a. Not granting them a touchdown when one was earned and b. Granting Pittsburgh a touchdown where there was not one. And it was right there, for all America to see. Most of America knows the Seahawks got cheated out of their title.

In the meantime, the refs are back at their off-season jobs. They works as elections officials in both Florida and Washington State.

There are only two explanations to what happened. The first is that Seattle sports teams are cursed. Which seems kinda obvious.

The second is that there is some kind of conspiracy between the NFL Commissioner and the refs to make sure the Seahawks lost. Notice that he "retired" after the Superbowl? It's a pity that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales did not do some kind of criminal racketering investigation into this; I think he would have found a criminal conspiracy and put these clowns behind bars.

Here is a near prediction that is turning out to be accurate:

• Harry Potter will die.

Now, while he hasn't, and may not, several people are lobbying J.K. Rowling to not kill him. Actually, it's quite obvious he will die, according to the structure of the story. But then again, this series has all kinds of twists and turns, and there is a good chance he will not die. So whether or not he lives, it will not be any surprise.

Here is another near-prediction that appears to be coming true:

• W ain't getting impeached

The head of the House Judiciary Committee wrote an article in the Washington Post that said that if the Democrats took the House, they would not focus on this. I said it is too late to do this, and in fact, the 2008 election has almost started. So the Democrats have to spend two years proving they are not a do-nothing Congress, and impeaching a lame duck will turn them into a do-nothing Congress.

Here is another near-prediction

• Air America is crashing

This station is getting yanked out of some markets. You see, it is too late to start up a talk radio station. Unlike 15 years ago, people are less likely to listen to radio in their homes, and do so in their car. And those liberals who are into news already listen to NPR. I have confirmed this with some.

And, the talk radio novely wears down after a while. An audience needs to refresh itself, as people get tired of listening to issues after about a year. Even before the internet came into play, Rush Limbaugh's audience started falling from 22 million. And that isn't refreshing itself like it was one decade ago. There is a core audience that has stuck with him for 18 years, but the core audience for Air America has been with NPR for a long time, and those liberals who are issue oriented are more likely to listen to NPR than this stuff.

Those are my predictions. Now, this does not make me a seer, but merely basing predictions based upon how I see things work. Now, if I can only get me a crystal ball, I will focus it toward the Stock Exchanges and the Sports pages, and know where I can put some money.
