2009 Predictions

Tonight, my favorite weird radio show (Coast to Coast AM) will invite psychics, spiritualists, and the like to make their annual list of predictions for the up-coming year. I can guarantee you that they will include 'dire' economic situations, earthquakes in the Pacific Rim, and Mid-East strife. You see a recurring theme year after year with psychics. The best predictions (and the most creative) come from listeners calling in their predictions. Last night's show was reserved for call-in predictions by novice fortune tellers:
*Valerie in Oklahoma City predicts a fire at an American-owned hotel, with a high loss of life but also miracle rescues.
*Craig in Madison, CT foresees a rogue wave hitting a cruise ship ala The Poseidon Adventure.
*Dan in Tampa believes there'll be a new development in the JonBenet Ramsay case.
*A trillion dollar investment in train infrastructure will turn around the economy, a male caller declared.
*Jim from 29 Palms believes this will be the year that an earthquake causes the Hoover Dam to break, and its waters will refill the Salton Sea.
*In February, a meteorite will hit leaving many hailstone-size pieces in a small area.

Some of the 'misses' from last year's callers:
Air Force One disappears.
Mount Etna explodes.
US boycotts the Olympics.
Gore jumps into the race.
Peace in the Middle East.
US & Canada combine currency.
A disabled UFO is found in Lake Tahoe.
Tom Cruise abandons Scientology.

All I want to know is why didn't anyone predict Sarah Palin?

Well those are neat predictions.
Believe the bloggers maybe have
some better ideas of what is going
to happen than the experts do.
It is always interesting to see if
any of them come true. Of course
the Yellowstone deal has been
going on for some time and your
friends at Coast to Coast have
been reporting about it for months.
The only thing I will predict is
that there will be more shootings
at Lafayette and Conger. Think I'm
pretty safe in saying that. Hee
