Predictions For 2011


I hardly ever make predictions and when I do, I am usually wrong (See my prediction for the Rose Bowl), but here goes:
1. The Green Bay Packers will beat the Bears on Sunday, get in the playoffs, win one game and lose in the second round.
2. Las Vegas will see an entertainer attacked on stage while giving a performance.
3. John Ensign will announce he will not run for re-election.
4. Dean Heller will run for Ensign's seat.
5. Brian Sandoval will not raise taxes but will raise a lot of fees and raid city and county monies.
6. CCSD will threaten to lay off 2000 employees but will actually lay off around 300 or less.
7. The Milwaukee Brewers will be 81-81 and not make the playoffs.
8. The Milwaukee Bucks will make the playoffs and not survive round 1.
9. This will be the last year for the Las Vegas 51's as a Triple A baseball team.
10. Harry Reid will spend less than 60 days in Nevada in 2011. (how to verify, I have no idea)
11. Dina Titus still won't have a real job in 2011.
12. Bill Raggio, the supposed Dean of the Nevada Senate, will have little influence in the Nevada Senate because of his support of Harry Reid. True- retired Jan. 5th.
13. Nevada's redistricting for the U.S. House of Rep's will be evenly split between the GOP and Dems. Two safe seats each.
14. Wayne Newton's plans for having his house and property as a tourist attraction will not happen.
15. There will be 3 or more small plane crashes in the Valley in 2011.
16. CCFD will lose their arbitration with Clark County.
17. Some areas of the Valley will get at least 1 inch of snow this winter or next. ( update:
True Jan. 3)
18. The Miami Heat will not win the NBA title this season.
19. President Obama will announce he will run for re-election. He will have at least 2 legitimate challengers.
20. Harry Reid will not announce any new green energy plants in Nevada in 2011 unlike when he was running for re-election.
21. Yucca Mountain will be revived by Obama as Obama needs better employment numbers for Nevada. He may slightly change the mission of Yucca, but not by much.
22. The LVRJ and Righthaven marriage will dissolve and there will be far fewer copy write lawsuits by Righthaven. (for evidence, see some of the articles in today's LVRJ)
23. There will be continuing Muslim terror attacks throughout the world. There will not be any major Christian or Jewish terrorist attacks.
24. Don't Ask, Don't Tell will take effect and won't have any major impact. However, one Marine General will be reprimanded for speaking out against DADT.
25. Employment in Nevada by the end of 2011 will be around 12%.
26. The Federal government will technically shut down two times in 2011. Obama will declare a federal emergency and all employees will still have to report to work.
27. The war in Afghanistan will continue. And the so called peace activists won't hold anti war protests because it is Obama's war.
28. The worst and most pathetic blog in Nevada, the Desert Beacon, won't print any of my comments or any comments that disagree with her/him.
The list is too long, I know, so please add any predictions you may have. I could have made longer, but some predictions are just too easy, like celebrity drug busts, Metro shootings and Harry Reid making an ass of himself.

I do hope everyone has a great 2011 and thanks for visiting. I truly appreciate that you take the time and read this blog.
