What Is Your New Year prediction for 2009?

[Machjo]

In two thousand and nine,
I won't start drinking wine.
My life will be divine.
I'll eat strait from the vine;
That will be a big sign.
Many will stand in line
to pay a mortgage fine.
But things will be just fine
if you avoid a land mine.
We'll see boats on the Rhine.
We shall build using pine.

Sorry for the bad poetry. Just made it up on the cuff.

I predict my cat will continue planning and implementing her imperialistic war of terror against the dog. Will this senseless war of aggression ever end?

If the cat's a Siamese and the dog's a Pekingese, the war will be over pretty quickly

 

[Spade]

In 2009,
1. Summer will arrive on June 22 everywhere in Canada except in Edmonton where it will arrive on July 22 and end on July 21, 2009.
2. Prime Minister Harper will learn what "I am sorry" means, but will refuse to say it!
3. America will have worked its way through the alphabet by declaring war on Zimbabwe.
4. Wal*Mart will drill a hole through the centre of the earth to reduce import costs from China.
5. The exchange rate between between two of our NAFTA partners will be $1000 US = 1 Mexican peso.
6. Britain will reverse its 1948 declaration of partition on the Indian subcontinent in an attempt to reduce tensions between Pakistan and India.
7. The Pope will announce his decision to donate all his red Gucci slippers to the poor.
8. Killer Kowalski's birthday will replace Victoria Day as a statutory holiday.
9. In an attempt to alleviate the financial crisis in America, the Congress will repeal the Declaration of Independence.
10. To reduce the province's carbon footprint, Alberta will give the Tar Sands to Saskatchewan.

The beagle isn't too bright, either.

I think Obama will finish what Bush Jr. started.

I think there will be an assassination attempt on Obama. Not sure whether it will be successful of not.

 

[Risus]

I'm in my bunker as we speak, I will not be taken alive!!! :x

DD, I also think you might be needing that bunker. I suspect a [dirty] nuclear bomb will be set off in 2009.

I recently saw some newscast of Obama coming out of the surf. If a telephoto lense can get a picture of him, I'm sure a SIG-Sauer SSG 3000 wouldn't have a problem assasinating him. That would not only throw the US into turmoil, but the world at this particular juncture

Canadians will benefit from environmental changes by purveying food and water to the rest of the world at prices that make the oil boom look like Black Friday

 

[Walter]

I believe the Republicans will intensify their hate campaign against Obama and blame him for everything under the sun, including the London fire of 1666 and the Fall in the Garden of Eden.

And they'll be right.

 

[Kreskin]

The fields will glow red and the canary will sing as the moon is near quarter. The rising tiger will lead, and water will flood the gates below heaven. A mighty tide will follow and many will rise with it.

 

[DurkaDurka]

Watched Team America last night. I was wondering where you got that handle.

that movie is a classic

 

[Trex]

2008 was the year we saw the financial system partially melt down, 2009 will be the year that John Q Public takes the hit for it.

Layoffs will increase and the unemployment rate in Canada will approach 8%.

10 % of retail stores will go out of business.

Small privately owned businesses will have a very tough year (or years).

The homeless rate will double.

People collecting welfare and unemployment insurance will dramatically increase.

Forget about pay raises for the foreseeable future.

If you bought property to flip for profit, chances are your screwed.

Federal and Provincial governments will run deficits for several years in a row, sticking all Canadians with future increases in taxes and a lower standard of living.

Green and environmental projects and ideals will be scrapped as the population focuses more on employment and making ends meet.

The US dollar crashes.

The commodity market stays tanked for a couple of years.
So much for Alberta. Perhaps all the provinces officially become "have not".
Or perhaps just Saskatchewan will be a "have" and they will be expected to support all the rest of us.

Ontario joins the rust belt.

On the upside?

All things must pass.

In a year or three we come out the other side of this recession a little leaner and meaner and its business as usual again.

Perhaps family becomes a little more important and focal in our lives.

Property should be much cheaper allowing our young people and their families a fair chance at buying property or a small business.

Quoting gopher I believe the Republicans will intensify their hate campaign against Obama and blame him for everything under the sun, including the London fire of 1666 and the Fall in the Garden of Eden.
​

And they'll be right.


...because Bill O'reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich say so and of course they're never wrong..... at least not today.... so far.... it's still early

They all should be sent to guantonimo along with bush and cheney, the can
receive some of the treatment that was handed out to iraqis in their jails in
iraq. take all of their clothes off, blind fold them put ropes around their
necks, treat them like animals, and we don't know some of the other things
that might have happened to them. Disgusting.
abu grave or whatever the spelling is, doesn't matter.
