President Pelosi!

She will be able to keep her promise of No Impeachment, as the Televised Hearings will uncover so much wrong doing that Bush, Cheney et al will resign in exchange for pleading guilty to only 1 crime each.

Nancy Pelosi will unify the country after she spells out how screwed this country is and her popularity soars after she has all of us make sacrifices to reverse some of the Bush Administration’s damage. I just hope she doesn’t pull a Gerald Ford

Hillary’s triangulation will piss off both the left and the right (yea, I know reality and not a prediction) and spare us all the bs of her running.

McCain’s Iraq position will be so discredited that he will end his run for pResident. HOJo of course will try to defy reality and get as much Joementum as he had in 2003-2004.

The American Taliban rejects Rudy and doesn’t buy Romney either. True to form, they go for Brownback who will be beaten like a rented mule in 2008.

“Secret plan to end the war”

Strangely enough, it involves continuous escalation of troops.

The “secret plan” lie worked for Nixon in ‘68. A whole lot of soldiers died waiting for the actual end, six years later with Ford as President. Obviously, there are a few today who are willing to float this Nixon lie for their own benefit.

With many apologies to Bruce Springsteen (but not Manfred Mann):

blinded by the slight
Cut loose like a deuce
another runner in the night

I always thought Manfred Mann was like Beatlemania-mania: Not a Bruce impersonator, but a tribute to Bruce impersonators.

yet Manfred Mann pre-dates the Boss by nearly a decade

A speculative tribute band.
