Chinese state media - Obama with his 'red line' warning to Syria about using chemical weapons, is 'digging deep' for an excuse to intervene militarily.

By 2020 a worldwide war over spelling will be raging as kids refuse to learn the old fashioned spelling of their language, using Nooalf insted. It will start here in America over the next few years, sparking riots at preschools and liberal colleges.
The Nooalf Revolution will lead to an overthrow of all current governments, Skynet will unleash Terminatorz, all sorts uv time travel hijinks will make history really confuzing, but eventually, I will be put in charje az 'The Dude' by the worldz combined military leaderz known az 'The Little Lebowski Urban Achieverz'.
Granted, its a little far fetched, mostly wishful thinking you mite say. But hey! if youre gunnu dream, dream big!

I'm going to make a rather bold prediction that the Democrats will win 4 out of the next 5 presidential elections.

This is the kind of thing that makes me wish I'd started the thread earlier:
The Heritage Foundation (conservative think tank) predicted back in 2001 that the Bush tax cuts "would lead the country into a brave new era of prosperity."

Auraptor thinks the two people ejected from the RNC for racial taunts towards a black camerawoman were probably Occupy gatecrashers. Or that it might just have been 'a media thing' (??) and that people are jumping the gun by calling it Racism.

Paul Krugman anticipates a lot of media comparisons of the truthiness of DNC speeches vs. Paul Ryan's - in 'an orgy of false equivalence'.

Stefan Rahmstorf (climate scientist) thinks 2013 is likely to be even hotter than 2012, barring any volcanic eruptions. And that the climate skeptic lobby will shift to blaming global warming on El Nino.
Niall Ferguson (conservative economist) thinks a double-dip recession is likely in the US in 2013 due to political stalemate sending the US over the fiscal cliff

Larry Flint, the publisher uv Hustler magazine iz offering a miilion dollarz for Romneyz income tax recordz. Since he had to submit them for the vetting process, at least back in 08 for VP, therez agood chance sumbudy will collect the prize. Hardly any chance at all that there wont be a crisis level problem within them and my prediction will come true.

I picked this article up from Slashdot. The authors of this paper are predicting food riots by next year. Their evidence is that when the revolts started in Egypt, Libya and Syria the food price index was running at 220. We have been running steadily at 213 since. With the Midwest drought they are predicting that food price index will jump to 220-240.

...Pretty simple. Black dots are the food prices, red lines are the riots. In other words, whenever the UN’s food price index, which measures the monthly change in the price of a basket of food commodities, climbs above 210, the conditions ripen for social unrest around the world. CSI doesn’t claim that any breach of 210 immediately leads to riots, obviously; just that the probability that riots will erupt grows much greater. For billions of people around the world, food comprises up to 80% of routine expenses (for rich-world people like you and I, it’s like 15%). When prices jump, people can’t afford anything else; or even food itself. And if you can’t eat—or worse, your family can’t eat—you fight...
