- PRESIDENTIAL IQ -

The creator deeply apologizes for unsettling anyone who was under the
impression that the President is, in fact, quite intelligent,

Gary Trudeau, writer of Doonesbury, about one of his recent panels.


That comment is predictagorically from a member of the chattering class, who are convinced that the sole modality of IQ is verbalish.
 

- REQUIEM FOR PALESTINE -

Persons unknown have ended the Palestinian state for the next few hundred years.

It is 3.00 AM Sydney time on 12th September 2001.   It is 10 AM on 11 September in LA.

Persons unknown, but reportedly claimed by a group with the word "Palestine" as part of it's name have flown two nearly fully fueled commercial airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.  Other aircraft were reportedly crashed into the Pentagon & near Camp David, and a car bomb was set off near the White House.  There are reports of dancing & celebration on the West Bank and Egypt.

Certain predictions seem obvious.

  1. Israel will invade all of Palestine this week.  Yesterday such an invasion would have meant war.  Now, nobody will care.
  2. World financial markets are harder to predict.  Taking into account Bush's likely response, markets will dip about 5% then firm, followed by a gradual climb.
  3. Muslims & arabs will be under suspicion worldwide.  Afghan refugees are already unwelcome, they will become anathema.
  4. Worldwide commodities markets (except gold) will fall.
