Here we go again...

So 2007 began yesterday. I am kind of over all the New Years hoopla. It is another reason to throw a party and get a bit tipsy (or wasted!), I think as you get older you tend to see your life speed by. Each year goes by faster than the year before. I mean, wasn't Y2K just yesterday??!! New Years is just a day for people to "freak out" about another year that flew by and to make useless resolutions that they are not going to keep in the coming year.

But here are some things we can look forward to this year:
1. another presidential candidate showdown (it'll be another Hilary v Rudy - Obama will be Hil's VP)
2. more violence in Iraq (see my solution to that situation below)
3. More troops going to Iraq (God Bless and Protect them)
4. nasty campaign ads (ugh!)
5. tax hikes (NY is getting a gas tax hike - bec gas prices aren't high enough)

My predictions:
1. Castro will die this year
2. Israel will get their missing soldiers back in a body bag (I pray I am wrong on this one)
3. The UN will continue to Ignore Iran (what else is new?)
4. Israel (under different leadership) will take out Iran's nuke sites
5. The Box Office will see its lowest year ever (who goes to the movies anyways these days - the good ones aren't in the theatre)
and of course
6. Pat Robertson's prediction - which is not so far off but I don't think you need God to tell you in this day and age that there is going to be a terrorist attack, with the lack of brains some people have in this country I think another terror attack inevitable. (I kind of agreed with him on the whole Ariel Sharon's coma was retribution fron God for ethnic cleansing Gaza in 2005.)
