Well, it's time to make predictions about 2004 and then mercifully forget about them when they go spectacularily wrong.
Israelis and Palestinians will continue to kill each other.
EU will engage in a lot of bureaucratic ****ery and infighting and won't get anything done.
Some far-right group will, once again, do unexpectedly well in an European election. The European press gabbles and paints Hitlers on the wall.
2004 will prove that there's no limit to Michael Jackson's crazy. When the trial really gets underway the tabloids will be having multiple orgasms each day.
Big-time celebrity deaths will continue. I peg Reagan and the Pope.
No new Bushfire wars, at least this year. Plenty of rhetoric about Syria, Iran and North Korea, but no particular action.
In the end, the moderate Democrats unite and manage to prevent Dean from taking the nomination. Genl. Clark will take the nomination and go on to lose to Bush by 5-8 points. Everybody starts getting ready for 2008, where the GOP will have an open primary and the Dems prepare for the all-time battle of titans - Hillary vs. Gore vs. Dean, who still has his supporter networks going in one form or the other.
2004 will be a mixed year for music - there's going to be a plenty of brilliant under-the-radar stuff, but mainstream music will continue to be complete crap. BRITNAYpop rules the day, and rap metal and pop-punk will ground on with vengeance in the teen male demographic. However, the signs will start showing up - 2005 will change it all.
There'll be technical inventions and stuff like that, but nothing really life-changing.
