Predictions 2006!
It's that time of year – as Mercury and Mars go direct and Venus prepares to back her oars, New Year's resolutions loom and future forecasters don their soothsayer suits to give you the coming year's headlines. From the Times to the tabloids you'll see the pundits opine on coming trends in politics, business, marketing, sports, fashion, celebrities, weather, computers, stocks, movies, you name it. Most of them even have some reasonable shred of evidence upon which to launch an educated opinion.
But here at AstroCocktail, on your behalf, we answer to a higher call. We bring you the coming year direct from our closely-held contacts within the realms of the generally ineffable, providing a picture of the future you couldn't possibly imagine otherwise. And, as we have noted in the last few months, that's been uncomfortably accurate of late. So here we go with a culled selection of the coming year's events, as depicted by our below-referenced reliable sources.
Predictors this year arise from four main categories: individual experts, general prophecies, considered consensus, and general freelance lunacy:
Having short patience with this kind of thing, I have not opened all of the links provided. I'll get back to them later, when I feel the need for more nonsense. But for now, I think that the Canadian Grab Bag might pass for a favorite.
The silly season is indeed upon us yet again and the silliest part of all is that a major percentage of these dingbats are not trying to run a scam, but are entirely serious. And a horrendous percentage of the world-wide, general public takes them seriously.
My species is an evolutionary disaster....

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
