I missed one:
A poorly judged remark by Jeremy Clarkson will cause nationwide offence, and the resulting outcry will last at least three days. He will not be sacked from presenting "Top Gear" as a result.

Okay, this prediction was dead WRONG. These events occurred in 2008, some of them within hours of making this post.
So here is a serious prediction for 2009 in Nostra-dumb-ass form. Remember, this is a REAL prediction of events that may or may not take place in 2009:
A giant insect, taking flight
Escapes his brother's tragic fate
Colliding with the king of night
Leaving remnants of the slate

Regulations and taxes will be imposed to correct AGW. The proponents of AGW will use the fact that AGW is false theory to prove that their taxes and regulations are in fact working as intended.
The DOW will raise steadily beginning in March and end the year at approx 11,500.

My predictions are in the same format as our resident “nut bag” Rapture Witness. And just like RW I’ll tell you what it all mean in like a year when I find a way it relates to a current event. Here is my prediction for next year:

Okay, here we go:
A once-beloved sports figure will admit to using performance-enhancing drugs and will retire in disgrace.
A major Academy Award category will be won by a "dark horse entry", to the surprise of even the winner.
The US Congress will be rocked by a scandal, and a long-serving politician will be toppled by the revelation of sexual hijinks.
American high school graduates' knowledge of mathematics and English will decline, despite more money being spent on public education. The NEA will say this is proof that teachers are underpaid.
People who sold their stocks to invest in gold during the slump of 2008 will find that the price will decline before the end of 2009.
There will be political turmoil in China, which the authorities will attempt to suppress.
Several major US cities will risk financial collapse and appeal to the federal government for assistance.
There will be a major scandal concerning a highly-placed official in the Italian government.
A new species will be discovered near the Equator; sadly, it will be on the verge of extinction when it is identified.
President Obama will reluctantly sign the New Deal-style stimulus package that is meant to repair and upgrade America's infrastructure, though analysis shows there is a distressing amount of "pork barrel spending" in it. He will argue that the country needs the good projects in the legislation too much for the delay a veto and re-crafting of the bill would require.
That's it, I didn't go into a deep trance at this time.

Economic troubles continue for a time.
More trouble for the major credit card companies but then things even out.
More "green" products and "frugal living" emphasis.
Northern California will experience earthquake activity.
The world will not end.
Sylvia Browne will declare 2010 to be the year of her farewell tour.

Ok, I’m going to give an event, a place, and an exact date. As you know the success rate on doing this is virtually none, so this should be pretty impressive when it all comes true.
Here it is:
On February 17th 2009, television stations across the United States will all broadcast in digital only. This will affect very few people, but a big deal will be made of it.

I'm gonna have to agree with Clairvoyant_Kyle's Rapture Witness inspired 2009 predictions via undefined pictures. I made a Rapture Witness worthy world mystery map! (and I used ~technology~.)
Green and Yellow and Red all mean things could happen/not happen/did happen and said things will be bad or medium or good... I'll let you folks know after '09 is over.

I will tweak my prediction a little.
OK, so I am a revisionist...
Aliens still will finally pick up our television signals from fifty years ago
and then plan an invasion on us.
But it will take them another fifty years to get here.
Their plan was going smooth and about 100 light years away from our planet
an altercation with a Quasar forced them into an alternate Universe.
When they tried to escape and resume their invasion, they slipped into
a Black Hole sending them back 1 million years into our past.
So we need to look for evidence that this has already happened.

I predict:
1) The U.S. and worldwide economy will continue to drop.
2) The Republicans will be opposed to market intervention and try to scuttle such intervention. With no help on the horizon, consumer confidence drops and the markets get worse.
3) The Republicans with the likes of Bill O'Lielly, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh will then blame the Democrats. This means conversative talking heads will continue playing mental gymnastics to avoid discussing anything related to real issues and will fall back of ideology over fact.
4) Rod Blagojevich will follow the previous Illinois governor to prison.
5) Bush will pardon several adminstration members to continue his record of no accountablity. This will include Karl Rove and those involved in the USDJ involving torture memos.
6) Racists will make an attempt on Obama's life.
7) Sarah Palin will say many stupid things, while Huckabee will continue his ignorance and intolerance of atheists, liberals, gays, and modern science. Palin and Huckabee will relish in this.
8) The Democrats' support/ratings will slip (compare Jan. 2009 to the Dec. 2009).
9) Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Creflo Dollar will continue gaining $upport.
10) Don Siegelman (former Governor) will be acquitted on appeal.
11) A well-known psychic will die.
12) Fidel Castro will die.
13) The world won't end.
14) More people will apply for the JREF challenge, but only one will actually take the test. That person will fail.
15) William Dembski will get an article published in a peer-reviewed journal. He'll claim it proves the legitimacy of intelligent design, but the article will mention nothing of the sort. His critics will rightfully condemn his psuedoscience.
16) The horrible Texas standards of evolution will get aproved and there will be an outcry from the scientific community.
17) Ted Haggard will sign a book deal.

What only one mention of Sylvia Browne?
She will have her last lecture in 2009. She will only publish one more book.

OBL will make another attempt on a certain five side structure.
WW3 will commence.
People will be more focused on Britney Spears.
Greenland will experience a great break up, glacially. Or maybe Antarctica, one of those anyway.
People will be even more focused on Britney Spears.
Tracker Bob will coauthor a book detailing methods to track bigfoot.
The temple will be ransacked. No wait....
