A New Year
A new year for the world and this blog. As promised, no more scantily-clad women (unless they knew Jack Ruby). Time to get serious. To tell you the truth I had thought about giving up this blog but I have decided to give it another year.
What do we have to look forward to this year? According to a recent poll 25% Americans believe that Jesus will return this year.
According to this story, in the not terribly reliable WorldNetDaily, Jesus is coming back but he will not be alone:
An official state media website in Iran posted a message heralding the coming of the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, noting he could arrive with Jesus by the spring equinox.
"Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca," the message says.
Needless to say, Jesus and the Mahdi have come not to bring peace but a sword.
My predictions for 2007:
Neither Jesus nor the Mahdi will return. President Bush will not be impeached. Bush will not attack Iran (although I wouldn't bet the rent on this one.) Iraq will become very bad. Iraq is very bad now, I know, but I mean very bad compared to now.
