were your 2009 predictions right?
Published Jun. 18, 2009Views: 1797
Okay GOLO, we are halfway through 2009, so I decided to go back and take a look at our predictions for 2009 that we all shared on New Year's Eve.
Well, some of my prediction has already come to pass. I predicted that three major newspapers would go online-only in 2009.
Well, can you say Rocky Mountain News and Seattle Post-Intelligencer? All I need is one more and my prediction becomes reality.
Oh, and here's one from Ken D:
At least one major automaker will go bankrupt, sending unemployment over 10% nationally, and taking the Dow below 7000. We will still be in recession at year end.
Looks like he was dead on, eh?
How about you?
Go back and check out the list, and tell us how you're doing so far.

1. That a high ranked state official would be accused of corruption.
2. That big oil companies would be accused of manipulating gasoline prices.
3. That there would be a major US industrial disaster.
4. That there would be a major airplane crash with great loss of life.
5. That an Asian country would threaten US interest.
6. That the newly elected President of the United States would be accused of not meeting his campaign promises.
7. That a tornado would wipe out a trailer park in the Southeast.
8. That a Middle Eastern country would threaten Israel.
So far, I’m batting 1,000.

I predicted a big scandle in a local school. (I think the mess at NC State counts)
I also predicted Paris Hilton would get pregnant. (Still havent heard about it)
And I predicted that there would be a serious story on the news and someone would be in the background giving "golo" shout-outs. Well, I almost made that one happen at Gov. Scotts Funeral.(At Hawfields Cemetary and Church the other month) But I didnt think it would be apropriate.
