Iowahawk looks at crystal ball for '05 review

Iowahawk has released his 2005 Year In Review, a full 366 days before everyone else. Some highlights:

March 2 - Clarence Thomas nominated as Chief Justice of Supreme Court; axe handle- wielding Patrick Leahy blocks courthouse door, vows "centrism today, centrism tomorrow, centrism forever" 20 - Keith Olbermann takes over CBS anchor desk as retiring Dan Rather announces plans to buy Kinko franchise; CBS News chief Andrew Hayward says 60 Minutes internal investigation due out "any year now" 26 - Thomas hearings delayed as nominee chased from chamber by firehoses, ACLU German Shepherds April 5 - New DNC chairman Howard Dean announces official party name change to "Progressive Berserkers" 15 - Massive layoffs feared at Minneapolis Star Tribune after hostile takeover by Powerline 18 - Saddam Hussein convicted of crimes against humanity; Kofi Annan offers space in UN "Scared Straight" deliquent dictator program 23 - Barry Bonds passes Ruth with 17th homer; torso explodes

So what if he was wrong about his first prediction of the year? It's still funnier than anything you'll read in The Economist.
