On January 14^th I made four predictions and promised that today I would revisit them to see how the odds fell out:

President Elect Obama will start out his term of office owning a black dog, but then it will mysteriously disappear and he’ll have to replace it with a brown and white one.

Bo the dog is black!  But he’s also white…so I’m giving myself a 30% accuracy rate because Bo, the politically correct coloured dog, did not have to be replaced.

Devastating expansions of the human waistline will occur in 64% of all North Americans in 2009.

More than 66% of Americans are overweight or obese according to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention statistics released in a December, 2009 New York Times article.  Giving myself a 100% hit rate.

A major record label that begins with an “S” will go bankrupt and close its doors.

TVT Records went bankrupt, but that begins with a “T” not “S”.  I’m giving myself a precognitive high five; but can’t take a rating.

A well-known married couple, who both have won Grammy’s, will terminate their marriage.

Grammy winners Usher and LeAnn Rimes both divorced this year, unfortunately they were not married to Grammy winners as well.  So what’s fair here?  I’m giving myself 30%.

Now let’s talk odds.  One in four was on the nose, so that gives me a 25% clear accuracy rate overall.  Out of four questions with justifiable manipulation and interference from planets that were clouded with radioactive-ness that resulted in overshadowing my normal rate of 80% accuracy I am clearly not a seer of future events.

So happy better you for the coming year!

This year was a doozy for me, and though it temporarily had me in a Killer Kowalski claw hold, I have managed to crawl out from under the massive weight that tried to pin me for the win and safely secured myself to a corner for the next round.

Watch out 2010 – get in my way and I will cut you with the light from my eyes.
