President Bush will get re-elected by a landslide.
"and I'm p*ssed that I'm on the list, just so some p*ssant can say that he gave me a lower score than the last time (whenever that was)"
The above post was the last of many unpunished personal attacks committed by Nohero.

Whatever the political outcomes may be, I just hope that our country becomes safer, more united, and that we become more considerate of others for the sake of us all.
Let's raise a glass for Strawberry. May his anger and frustration subside, may he graduate from his kindergarten mentality, and may he get a life in 2004 so he doesn't have to feel the need to try to dominate the only thing he thinks he can, MOL.

Op-Ed Columnist: Office Pool
December 31, 2003
By WILLIAM SAFIRE
WASHINGTON
In last year's office pool, for the second year running, I
accurately predicted the best-picture Oscar winner. Forget
all of the other predictions, which were varying degrees of
mistaken; I shoulda been a film critic.
The multiple choices include one, all or none. My picks are
down below. Do not save this page.
1. Next tyranny to feel the force of U.S. liberation: (a)
North Korea; (b) Iran; (c) Syria; (d) Venezuela.
2. Iraq will (a) split up, like all Gaul, into three parts;
(b) defeat the insurgents and emerge a rudimentary
democracy; (c) succumb to a Sunni coup.
3. First to fall from power will be (a) Little China's Chen
Shui-bian, whose two-China campaign oratory on Taiwan is
asking for trouble with Big China; (b) Pakistan's
Musharraf, double-crossed by his Islamist military; (c) the
U.S.'s Bush, after abandoning fiscal restraint; (d)
Russia's Putin as his electorate miraculously awakens; (e)
Cuba's Castro.
4. Long-overdue exoneration will come to embattled media
megastar (a) Martha Stewart; (b) Michael Jackson; (c)
Kenneth Lay; (d) Pete Rose.
5. The economy will (a) see a booming 13,000 Dow and 3,000
Nasdaq; (b) grow more slowly as a weakening dollar drives
up interest rates; (c) be rocked by the abuse of
manipulative derivatives in hedge funds.
6. The fiction best seller will be (a) "Retribution" by
Jilliane Hoffman; (b) "Confessions of a Bigamist" by Kate
Lehrer; (c) "Flying Crows" by Jim Lehrer (presumably one of
Kate's husbands).
7. The nonfiction sleeper will be (a) "Inside - A Public
and Private Life" by Joseph Califano Jr.; (b) Carl Zimmer's
brainy "Soul Made Flesh"; (c) Michael Korda's biography of
U. S. Grant; (d) Gertrude Himmelfarb's "The Roads to
Modernity."
8. The scientific advance of the year will be (a) age
retardation enhanced by memory protection; (b) a single
pill combining erectile dysfunction treatment with a
fast-acting aphrodisiac; (c) neuroscientists' creation of a
unified field theory of the brain; (d) the awakening of
geneticists to the liberating study of bioethics.
9. Best-Picture Oscar: (a) Anthony Minghella's "Cold
Mountain"; (b) Edward Zwick's "The Last Samurai"; (c) Clint
Eastwood's "Mystic River"; (d) Sofia Coppola's "Lost in
Translation"; (e) Gary Ross's "Seabiscuit." (This is the
category I'm good at.)
10. Bush's domestic initiative will be (a) Social Security
personal accounts; (b) community college scholarships; (c)
a moon colony; (d) snowmobile restrictions in Florida
parks.
11. The U.S. Supreme Court (a) will decide that the rights
of alien detainees in Guantánamo have not been violated;
(b) will deadlock, 4-4 (Scalia recused), in the Pledge of
Allegiance case, thereby temporarily affirming the Ninth
Circuit decision declaring "under God" in the pledge
unconstitutional; (c) in Tennessee v. Lane will uphold a
state's immunity to lawsuits, limiting federal power in the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
12. Howard Dean will (a) sweep Iowa and New Hampshire and
breeze to a boring nomination; (b) lose to Gephardt in Iowa
and do worse than expected in N.H., leading to a long race;
(c) transform himself into the centrist, affable "new
Dean"; (d) angrily bolt and form a third party if the
nomination is denied him.
13. The "October surprise" affecting our election will be
(a) the capture of bin Laden in Yemen; (b) the daring
escape of Saddam; (c) a major terror attack in the U.S.;
(d) finding a buried bag of anthrax in Tikrit.
14. Debating Cheney on TV will be the Democratic running
mate (a) Wes Clark; (b) Bob Graham; (c) Bill Richardson;
(d) Dianne Feinstein; (e) John Edwards; (f) Carl Levin.
15. The next secretary of state will be (a) Richard
Holbrooke; (b) Paul Bremer; (c) Donald Rumsfeld; (d) John
Kerry.
16. Israel, staunchly supported during the U.S. election
year, will (a) build its security barrier including the
Ariel salient and the Jordan Valley; (b) undermine Arafat
by negotiating territory with Syria after Assad quiets
Hezbollah in occupied Lebanon; (c) close down illegal
outposts before "redeploying" settlers out of Gaza.
My picks: 1. (none), 2. (b), 3. (e) (I've made this yearly
prediction for three decades and now is not the time to
stop), 4. (a), 5. (all), 6. (b), 7. (a), 8. (d), 9. (c)
(Make my day, Clint!), 10. (b), 11. (all), 12. (b), 13.
(c), 14. (b), 15. (b) 16. (all). This last one is pure,
unsourced thumb-sucking; Sharon didn't return my call.
