Most of the predictions on hears at this time of year are almost assuredly wrong and to be readily dismissed. That is not the case when some with almost flawless insight ventures forth with his crystal ball. You will have to read the entire essay to get the full flavor and brilliance, but here is a sample.
My prediction for 2006 is a multiple, all connected politically. I predict that another barrage of fierce storms and hurricanes will so disturb the American people, that the Democrats will take the Senate in the '06 election and whittle away at the House in those races as well. Whether those storms can be attributed to global warming conditions or more normal meterological cycles will not matter.
