It’s time for our year end predictions of what’s going to happen in 2010. Has the economy bottomed? Will real estate prices go lower, or start to rise again? Will jobs return to NY, and what kind of jobs and industries are going to fuel our return to the center of the universe? What are we going to see in our neighborhoods? Will people finally stop asking if it’s safe to live in Bed Stuy and Crown Heights, or will the conversation turn back to asking how many people are legally able to share a one bedroom, one bath, brownstone floor-through in Park Slope? Will Miss Muffet buy this year, or will DaveInBedStuy have to sell his 18th century antiques to keep the house? Montrosini the Great predicts many comments. Don’t make me have to wear this hat all week!

  1. “And despite a complete lack of support and resolve from President Obama, his administration will take the time to claim credit for any success that may come of those citizen’s efforts.”

    Hell yeah, let’s get war #3 going in the mideast! I mean, #3 at the same time.

  2. You are a sweetheart in person, Legion, but please….no more to come. That was totally inaccurate, unfair, and just plain out wrong on so many levels.

    When are you conservatives going to stop acting as if Obama created this mess, and work with him to change things? From day one, nothing from your side of the aisle but complaints, predictions of failure, wishes of failure, fervent prayers for failure, sacrifices to the gods of failure, and now working on nothing but assuring failure by obfuscation, attempts at filibuster, badmouthing and basically not coming up with any alternatives.

    The Dems have their own problems, but they are not the reason there is no bipartisanship in our gov’t. Better to try something than do nothing, and complain about it.

  3. Republicans will find their lies and half-truths get no more traction.

    Bush will admit to screwing the country and Cheney will come right out and say- “yeah, we handed Obama one f*cked up country, with ecomomy to match.

    Sarah Palin will become an American Idol judge and quit Dancing with the stars. After one week.

    The GOP will finally admit 1. Obama is not Muslim, 2. not a “furriner”, 3. is the duly elected President of the United States, 4. decide to act like patriotic law abiding citizens of this country instead of an offshoot of a terrorist organization and 5. Accept that this is how democracy works. Obama is President.Duly and without question. Grow up and deal with it.

  4. Predictions 2010:

    After a good run of 20 plus years, Political Correctness will become politically incorrect in 2010, meeting it’s demise after the 1 millionth grandmother with walker is frisked at one of our international airports while yet another young muslim male is allowed to board a flight with a one way ticket to any given destination in the continental USA and chemically enhanced underwear.

    The good people of the United States will stage a voter revolt around November of 2010 having had a full 10 months to realize the full extent and scope of the trillion dollar folly that is the “healthcare reform” bill, not to mention the audacity of the house and senate voting themselves yet another pay raise amidst the impending bankruptcy of several states.

    More Democratic lawmakers will find themselves jumping ship to switch parties amid the widespread anger from their constituents who have basically gone ignored for the past 12 months and the surprising revelation that they (the lawmakers) do not in fact, have a god-given right to remain in their seats citizens be damned!

    The phrase “term limits” will be used liberally in the second half of the year.

    Facing the impending threat from Israel and an increasingly dire economic situation at home, the Iranian people will continue to spark revolt in their nation with the assistance of free thinking citizens of the world and satellite and internet broadcasts. And despite a complete lack of support and resolve from President Obama, his administration will take the time to claim credit for any success that may come of those citizen’s efforts.

    President Obama will blame Bush for the one millionth time for everything from global economic downturns to radical islamic uprisings. This will lead to a hit game show titled: Let’s Blame Bush , which will become all the rage and lead to a ratings bonanza at MSNBC.

    On the homefront, continued massive jobs losses month to month will spur a movement back to nostalgia themed entertainment and the development of communal societies with theme decades of prosperty like the 50’s, 80’s and 90’s, not unlike the Amish or Hassidim who live in the 1760’s.

    In science, breakthroughs in flatworm/alzheimer’s research will lead to the first longevity drugs which will claim the possibility of life extension to 150 years. This will lead to a huge spike in suicides from people facing the very real prospect of facing another 75 years of hard labor and taxation at the service of the government which will now control approximately 50% of the once private sector.

    Mexico will officially become the 51st state, when it is uncovered by the 2010 census that in fact, there are more mexican nationals living in the state of California than there are in Mexico. Rather than cede the state of california to Mexico, President Obama will choose to offer Mexico statehood. The government of Mexico will quickly accept the offer, realizing that they are already covered under our new national healthcare plan anyway, so why not just add a driver’s license bureau to the mix and call it even.

    more to come….
