B-Daddy's Predictions for 2011

Temple of Mut has called for SLOB predictions for 2011, here are B-Daddy's fearless predictions for the coming year.

1. Extreme cold or heat, extreme rain or drought, ice cap melting or growth, will be explained to be a result of anthropogenic global warming. (OK, this one is hardly fearless.)

2. The economy will recover, but the yet to be deflated housing bubble and debt overhang will stall the recovery by year end.

3. Romney, Palin and Huckabee will fade as leading candidates due to their various flaws and inadequate Tea Party credentials.

4. The nut roots left will froth at the mouth over Obama and Republicans, in equal parts.

5. The battle to reduce spending will be a draw due to split government and Democrat members of Congress resorting to obstructionism with Obama's tacit approval.

6. A major multiemployer union pension plan will go belly up, taking down a large corporation.

Take these with a grain of salt, as a great man once said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."
