That's interesting, Dixie. According to your logic, no one on an internet message board can ever make a prediction. That's really bright.
"I could make a list of opinions you've held, that have proven to be less than accurate over the years, and I could even call them 'predictions' and belittle you as a poor prognosticator, and tell you to just shut the fuck up because you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I could do this, but I don't."
You probably couldn't do this. Maybe on a couple of minor points, but you couldn't make the career out of it that I could make on you if I wanted to. I've been pretty close on a lot of things. I thought Iraq was a mistake; I thought it could turn into a prolonged, open-ended quaqmire for America (and I was called a traitor for correctly saying so). I guessed that it would be an albatross around Bush & the GOP's neck, and guess what? I was right. You were wrong. The voters just went with my view, after over a year of you telling me to prepare for the HUGE backlash we were going to get for our Iraq position, our position on Schiavo, Bolton, the courts, etc.
Since you probably have no idea what it's like, I have to tell you: it's really cool to be right...
