2011 Predictions !!
OK dear readers, all fifteen of you, I know you've been anxiously awaiting my 2011 predictions given the high octane performance of my cyrstal ball these past two years. As you know, here at NBfPB we don't dumb down the test. I don't make the easy predictions and proclaim great insight when they come true, I like to be slightly out there in left field so that when I'm right there's a little bit of a "Wow-factor", but only slightly because we lead a fact-based life here at NBfPB and we strive to be truly "reality-based" as opposed to, well, you know who. So here goes:
- Israel Gets Attacked, War Comes Back to the Mideast: I'm not talking a few Qassam rockets, that's everyday life in the Little Satan; I'm talking attacked where Israel must respond, thus war. This isn't a super original idea, but the conditions are now set for this, that is why I am predicting it now rather than last year or the year before. Iran is teetering, Hezbollah has lain waste to any shred of civic strength in Lebanon, Syria has Stockholmed the West, Israel will begin work on monetizing the enormous wealth of one of the world's great hydrocarbon deposits, and the relations between Israel and its great protector/ally, the US, have never been this bad. It's a perfect time for some pre-emptive mischief and Israel's enemies will jump at it.
- Hillary Re-emerges for 2012: Now that the Obama presidency is officially owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Clintonites, they will work to undermine his 2012 chances and/or strike a grand bargain that enhances Hillary's power post 2012 and sets her up for further gains when the time is right. The Clintonite cadre will now set the conditions as best they can for Democratic success (work with Boehner, win back business) but otherwise allow Obama to blunder into a situation that enhances Hillary's profile. (I know that the Hillary replaces Biden meme is tired and spent, but I think that is the most likely route.)
- Venezuela Explodes: I know I semi-predicted this before, but I need to pad my score a little bit. With Chavez now ruling by decree, Venezuelans can now be under no further illusions that they are living under a loathesome dictatorship, not just an incompetent but well-meaning socialist, and they will rebel with greater fury. They will conclude that the time for peaceful marches are over, and that if they are to prevent a full slide into severe privation and oppression, they must act by any means necessary.
- Gas Hits $4: This is the year. This isn't a hard one, but it was much harder to call when gas was at $2. I made the soft call then, I'm making it official now.
- Pelosi Leaves Congress: She can't stand life as second fiddle after tasting raw, unrestrained power. She leaves. (Here's my long shot prediction for extra credit: Pelosi primaries Obama for the presidential election in 2012 claiming he has sold out the progressive movement.)
- Polling Reveals 40% of Americans Identify With the Tea Party Movement: The movement will persist and, after watching it in action and after concluding that the original tawdry slurs of the MSM/EJM are false, more Americans will come to a fair-minded understanding and appreciation for the Tea Party.
That's it for now, gotta go. Cheers!
UPDATE: Almost forgot, one more prediction...more "hot chicks with guns" on NBfPB...

You still think Hillary has a shoot even after she did her impression of Gerald Ford.
I'm not saying "has a shot", I'm saying "re-emerge". The woman is a ruthless, power-mad juggernaut and her surrogates now hold all the levers of power within the White House, short of the Presidency itself. She and Bubba, hate BO with a passion and there is nobody else to save the party from him, so she will likely re-insert herself.
