InsideCatholic.com has a list of predictions for 2008 . Rick Santorum bets that global-warming fever cools, and Ray Flynn calls the November contenders: Clinton vs. McCain.
My one prediction for the new year:
Oliver Stone will, in fact, be kidnapped in Colombia . This act of terrorism will soon deteriorate into a “Ransom of Red Chief” deal, with Colombian guerrillas offering the U.S. cash and drugs to take the director back, thus sparing them more conspiracy theories about Smoot-Hawley and its long-term effect on the box office for Alexander . The president will go soft after watching World Trade Center and accept the offer. A dispute will arise over shipping costs.
