• Barack Obama will not win the American Presidency.

Not long to check this one out at least…

Here are links to Gallop who are doing daily poll tracking and The Drudge Report; a good kick off point for American news.

Here is also a useful link to an article at Scientific American that I think is appropriate: “The Certainty Bias: A Potentially Dangerous Mental Flaw”

And best wishes to Patrick who is going into hospital for what he assures me is a minor operation tomorrow. He says he’ll definitely be back foretelling the future next week-end.

There are those amongst you who seem to doubt the depth of my absolute wisdom and it must be said you are right for there is one who’s wisdom makes me look like my money was in an Icelandic savings account. I speak of course of Mystic Meg Patrick. Those who have the privilege of knowing him know he has an opinion on all things, er, a bit like my good self, and that he is always right, er, ditto. Better still he is the master of the prediction – the future being an open book to his omnipotent mind. So, in the vein of Moses, I have decided to keep track of these predictions and bring his all-seeing light to the world. From this day on there will be a new category on this blog; “Patricks Predictions”, so we can better know what the future holds in store for us.

The first two are:

• Germany will withdraw from the Euro within a year (or two, a qualification put on later in the conversation). So the date to look out for is 11/10/2009
• Ireland will withdraw from the Euro within three to five years.

We will see…

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes…
