Behold 2008’s great bounty

Stop! What’s that sound? That gentle ringing … or it buzzing? Why, it can only be one thing. The future!

The rest will have to wait; it’s time to answer the call. Behold, my 2008 predictions for the Iron Range and to a lesser extent … THE WORLD!

POLITICS
The political world is shocked to its core when a pig named Hoss wins the Iowa caucuses in both parties. Apparently, the pig appeared in newspapers pictured with more than a dozen different candidates, enough that confused voters thought the swine was running for office. Hoss goes on to take New Hampshire but lacks funding to compete on Super Tuesday. As a third party candidate, the pig plays spoiler by earning 25 percent of the popular vote and sweeping the Plains states.
