Motorcycle Gang/ Drug Cartel will be linked to rigging federal elections in several states. Santorum mistress will be discovered. Unlike Edwards, there will be no press & no one will give a damn. (TMI, but you know him. And PA.) Swiss & Cayman accounts in Christie’s name will be found with deposit slips from several well ‘connected’ construction companies. “We made him a Cannoli he couldn’t refuse…” Greece drops from EU, but not before Italy & ROI go damn close to belly-up. Bonus points if you guess “The Peace Process” goes the way of government surplus. (Can you say “boom”?) Another cruise ship sinks & for damn silly reasons. (It will be found that the radical changes since the last one, forced through, will have left some glaring operational holes that no one thought to cover. ) John Hammond: Don’t worry, I’m not making the same mistakes again. Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, you’re making all new ones. ---

I’d honestly suggest making this an ongoing thread, so we might have a chance at a winner. There’s really no reason this has to stop until one person wins. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I’d honestly suggest making this an ongoing thread, so we might have a chance at a winner. There’s really no reason this has to stop until one person wins. Great Idea. We ought to have a target date, though, don’t you think? Just a random prediction with no time frame would be too easy to hit without the additional precision attached. Same thread or new ones? I could go either way. If this thread, let’s go for June 15, next Friday. Has to be in “the News” (as defined above) to count. ---
