My predictions for 2012

What, it’s 2012? Where’s my bubbly? I slept right through the turn of the year, apparently. But, since it's only Jan. 5, it’s not too late for my new year predictions.

You might want to save this blog to see how accurate I was. I’m guessing I’ll beat the forecast of your favorite TV weatherman any day. Here goes:

The N.Y. Giants will make the playoffs. (What??? That already happened??)

The Iowa caucus won’t matter come August.

Presidential candidates will be photographed going into or coming out of church.

Presidential candidates will be photographed eating hot dogs/ice cream/ribs and other “real American” food.

Jackson Labs will outsource some jobs to India.

The stock market will be up.

The stock market will be down.

Fidel Castro will die.

Amy Winehouse’s posthumous CD will win a Grammy.
