Thirty-five "experts" will predict the World Series winner, and thirty-four of them will be wrong. (It will be the Rockies. You heard it here first.)

Kris Kringle is bringing me. . . snowshoes!
No fewer than ten Republicans will announce their candidacies for president in 2012. Sarah Palin will be among them. She'll manage to put her foot in her mouth several times but that won't deter the zealots who support her. The rest of us will be amused and appalled by turns.
