The 2011 thread is here Post Your 2011 Predictions Here.

Now it is time for us to peer at our crystal balls or tea leaves or tarot cards or whatever, and make some predictions for 2012.

My predictions are

1. Major civil disturbances in Iraq.
2. Syrian Government to fall. New one not much better than the old.
3. Stopsylvia.com gets updated.
4. USA elects new President.
5. Most people alive on 1 January 2012 will still be alive on 31 December 2012.
6. February will have 29 days.
7. YouTube will get a major competitor.
8. Major changes to the Euro.

May your predictions be better than the best psychic predictions.

Deaths

Lady Gaga
Dick Clark (Gotta be right eventually, right?)

Sports Champions (Well, 4 major US anyway)

Minnesota Wild (Hockey)
New England Patriots (Football)
Texas Rangers (Baseball)
Chicago Bulls (Basketball)


Pop Culture News:
Figure from a reality show, host or contestant, gets murdered.

Politics:
Obama wins 2nd term, handily defeating Mitt Romney / Scott Brown, because Romney is Mormon and apparently that matters for some reason.

Sad as it is to say this, I think the headline-driven society we live in actually gets worse, somehow.

Harry Potter stars in Fast & Furious 12

9/11 Conspiracy idiots remain idiots.
 
There will be a major earthquake in the Pacific region and it will occur adjacent to a highpoint in the lunar cycle.
 
Floods
Earthquakes
Volcanoes

Some people will point to the above happening as a sign of the End Times.
 
My predictions (plain language):
1. A planet will be discovered less than a hundred light years away that has the "right" gravity, temperature and atmosphere for life to exist.
2. Discovery of the Higgs boson will be confirmed, but there will be a discovery of a new problem with the Standard Model.
2a. Nearly all media outlets will insist on calling the Higgs particle "The God Particle," and a group of scientists will politely ask that this naming convention be discontinued. The scientists will be personally insulted by various religious groups because of this.
3. China will unveil its plans to put men and women on the Moon.
4. A large tornado will rip through a metropolitan center.
5. War will break out in South America.
6. A major Star Trek actor will "beam up" to the REAL final frontier.

My predictions (poetic, but referring to genuine predictions that will or will not occur):
The call to arms is made, revoked,
And made again without a blink;
Can ugly be a leader's folk
When they see him on the brink?

A sign shall come that shall be hailed
As an omen of great doom,
The music ends as one is jailed,
No great myst'ry in the room.
 
1. The US President will come from one of the 2 major parties, but will be decided by a 3rd party spoiler candidate.
2. Right Wing violence in the US will increase.
3. Everyone will complain about remakes (movies) and they will all go see them.
4. Everyone aged 18-35 will call everyone aged 18-35 a hipster in a snooty way.
5. Cheese will continue to be the best food around.
 
1. Family radio revise the date of the rapture.
2. The Daily Mail find several things that cause cancer.
3. And some more that prevent it.
4. There will be a large crossover between 2. and 3.
5. At least one British competitor in the Olynpics will be the Valient Loser.
6. We Brits will fare well in events that use boats, horses or guns.
7. It will be, for some reason, incredibly important that an MP, Actor or Footballer had sex.
8. Somebody will claim to have "solved" 9/11 again.
 
1. Lindsay Lohan will be sent back to prison.
2. Miley Cyrus will continue to get trashier.
3. Lindsay Lohan will be release early from prison.
4. Justin Bieber will become the most hated celebrity in the world.
5. Nobody will cast Lindsay Lohan in any movie, and she will be sent back to prison.
 
A few more, since I'm in a predicting mood:

7. The surprise Broadway smash hit will feature something outrageous, perhaps a fake but realistic depiction of a sexual act on stage.
8. The U.S. Supreme Court will uphold part of the US healthcare overhaul, but not all of it.
8a. At least one Supreme Court justice will suggest that, unless the US Constitution specifically authorizes the Congress to implement a national healthcare plan, the US Congress cannot do so, no matter what.
8b. Look for at least one Supreme Court justice to become ill, which will make bench appointments a prominent campaign issue. The Republican candidate will pledge to nominate someone like Scalia.
9. A viral video will show someone doing something stupid and getting hurt, but apparently not hurt badly. The video will be shown repeatedly because many will think it is funny. But when the person shown in the video dies of injuries he suffered during the event, a debate will occur whether the video still ought to be shown. Some will liken it to a "snuff film."
10. A longtime television series will come to an end.
11. A prominent celebrity comes out of the closet. This creates a stir for about a week, then nobody gives a darn.
12. An expression of extreme hatred will be made against Rachel Maddow. Extreme. Rachel will take it in stride.
13. A titantic "Oops" bigger than any made so far by Rick Perry will dog a well-known person for several months.
