I predict that Bush will have a mental breakdown. He may be secretly hospitalized. Right now, the man looks mentally exhausted as his world is slowly turning upside down. Cheney is useless at this stage and from is political position.
What are your predictions for 2007?

I try to be optimistic---but 2007 will be a real test of that optimism---we may have a new congress---but the same clueless GWB remains---and he is likely to spend all of 2007 seeing all
his optimism drain as the reality of his works come tumbling down on all fronts.

I think Islamic extremists in the Middle East will continue to turn on each other beyond the borders of Iraq and Palestine (and it will get worse in those two areas). Unfortunately, I don't think we will get out of the way.

Hate ruin everyone?s fun with a serious post, but I think the stories of 2007 will be:
1. Iraq, again.
2. Democratic take over of congress, the good, the bad and the ugly. I am sure we will get examples of all three.
3. And the BIG story of the year could be the death of Castro. His death will almost assuredly result in the end of American economic sanctions, the Republicans want Latino votes. His death might also result in the end of communism in Cuba, a very positive step. I?ll go out on a limp and predict that if the communist government falls and is replaced by some type of free government the leader of that government ends up on the cover of Time as person of the year. I think a change in government down there would have that huge of an impact on news in the next year. (Of course Raul could take over for big brother and nothing could change.)
4. Finally, the less eventful the year is the more we will hear about the 2008 race for President. If congress does a lot and accomplishes a lot, or does not accomplish due to fighting and vetoes, then look for little news on 2008. But if it is a quiet year for news we may all be tired of 2008 news before the first primary.

They may join the US to avoid tariffs on their agricultural exports (like Hawaii did with their sugar industry) and improve their economic possibilities (US could offer to drop the embargo if they agree to join the US). Cuba has some fine beaches that could be developed quickly by American businesses and the island could become a booming center of agriculture and tourism.

Bush only becomes a true lame duck in early 2008 when all the focus turns to the election. As I remember once that started Clinton sort of faded from view.
Sorry, but you have one more year of Bush in the lime light, and then a year of him just sort of being there.
We've heard your pronouncements before. In fact, only recently. :laugh:
This one is incorrect as well, to be sure. :laugh:
