Placing The Lowest Rated Blog in standby mode for the next couple of days. I will be hitting the road this evening. I will be back prior to Thanksgiving Day. Have a fine blogging weekend!

It is time for a review. Back in March 2007 I posted my infamous predictions for 2007, all based on metaphysics, extrapolation, and the award-winning cfs proprietary guessing indicators. Things are not looking good for my crystal ball and I will have to do some heavy duty cleaning prior to my next set of predictions. Some of the predictions were totally bogus. I will do a final analysis prior to January 1st 2008. You can expect to see my next set of predictions for 2008 sometime next month. As I have said before, Caveat Emptor; do not bet your home on my predictions.

P R E D I C T I O N S 2007

1. DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Citing personal reasons, senator Hillary Clinton surprises everyone by announcing that she will NOT run for president of the United States in 2008. Several DEM insiders will enter the race for president but there will be no clear front runner. The leadership moves full speed ahead with their political platform with the goal of maintaining control of the House and Senate during the 2008 General Elections.

2. REPUBLICAN PARTY. Potential 2008 Presidential Election candidates make their rounds on the Sunday news shows. Senator John McCain announces that he is running for president of the United States and immediately becomes the front runner, and is endorsed by a large number of GOP senators.

3. PRESIDENT BUSH. President Bush continues to suffer on the polls, but works hard on saving his presidency and saving face in Iraq. He is not willing to go down in history as a war loser. He brings back his idea on revamping Social Security with the addition of the personal savings accounts. He continues to work on his plan for non-legal residents working permits.

4. THE ECONOMY. The Bad News Bears continue to run for cover. After a slow start during the months of January and February, the economy is back with a vengeance. Job numbers go up, interest rates remains low, inflation remains under control, investors' sentiment remains up, and Americans will feel good emotionally and economically.

5. MIDDLE EAST PEACE. The mess continues in the Middle East. United States, with the help of our European friends will be fully engaged in the Middle East with the goal of creating the Palestinian State next to Israel, and bringing peace to the war thorn region of Lebanon. Israel will refuse the peace plan because it calls for too many concessions from part of Israel.

6. UNITED STATES TROOPS IN IRAQ. Some of the ISG and pentagon recommendations are reluctantly adopted by potus. We have a new course on the war. Things under control before Christmas 2007. Number of troops in Iraq will be below 100,000 by December 2007. The BWT will get back to using their mantra of "We are making progress in Iraq."

7. IRAQ CIVIL WAR. Things get real ugly after the Iraqi Prime Minister IS KILLED by one of his insiders. But a compromise takes place. Plenty of concessions to members of the insurgency, including some members involved on killing Americans. The Iraqi government officially requests that the United States and the rest of the coalition members LEAVE Iraq by the end of 2008.

8. SADDAM HUSSEIN. Saddam he is already sentenced to death. However, his victims will not have the satisfaction of watching the butcher from Baghdad hanging. Saddam, with the help of Iraqi insiders, will kill himself before the official hanging takes place.

9. AXIS OF EVIL. The rest of the Axis Of Evil continues to violate Nuclear Weapons Laws. The BWT will continue to "Give Diplomacy A Chance" and we see no risk of an armed conflict between the United States and Iran or North Korea in 2007. Iran will continue to push the envelope and will announce that "we are now a nuclear power." Potus will be pressured to act by the rest the hard core conservatives, but based on his lessons learned during his adventure in Iraq, this time potus opts for giving peace a chance.

10. THE MARKET TRIFECTA. We continue to be bullish on the US Market, and we predict a good year for the top Three US Stock Market Indexes. We are going for the GOLD with The DOW, The NASDAQ, and The S&P 500 Indexes making moderate GAINS in 2007.

Okay, we are now in the middle of the month of November and we can say this:

Prediction 1 = totally bogus with zero points
Prediction 2 = half point
Prediction 3 = half point
Prediction 4 = half point
Prediction 5 = half point
Prediction 6 = half point
Prediction 7 = totally bogus with zero points
Prediction 8 = totally bogus with zero points
Prediction 9 = half point
Prediction 10= one point
