+1 on Pelosi Prediction

2011 isn't over yet but one of my predictions is unfolding as planned. We might not see it within the calendar year, but being early is still a score of +1.

Me on Jan 11, 2011:
- 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.)
Plucked today from DR:
Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told Big Government this week that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors.
UPDATE:
BTW, one of my 2010 predictions was:
- Minor world leader is assasinated (three likelies: Assad, Calderon, Mubarak)
and this is what I said when it didn't come true:
A few of my other predictions will likely prove true (California going bankrupt and the assasination one are still pretty solid) but, alas, didn't come to pass in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Ten.
So, in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Eleven we saw Qaddafi get whacked, Mubarak narrowly avoid a whacking, and Assad is on the brink. Not a bad call way back when...
