As regular readers are aware by now, I am always correct when I predict the future.** This is not because I possess a spiritual gift or great wisdom, but because I’m the only person alive whose insanity perfectly matches reality.
Conservatives are all wondering about the same thing these days. “What will the Democrats do when their Stimulus Program crashes and burns? Will they admit defeat and try something sensible?”
No, of course not. This is what the Democrats will do, when unemployment is above 10% and large populations are living in tents and standing in food lines:
They will arrest former Pres. Bush and former VP Cheney, accuse them of high crimes and misdemeanors, and convene highly publicized show trials. The proceedings will be broadcast on large outdoor screens, for the benefit of those who no longer own TVs. A huge public relations campaign will be launched, for the purpose of amplifying public hatred toward Bush and Cheney.
This will be the circus which (along with government bread) will, they will hope, divert people from the failure of the Stimulus.
Once that’s over, they’ll take a page from FDR’s book and find a war to fight.

That is exactly what will happen!
They will arrest former Pres. Bush and former VP Cheney, accuse them of high crimes and misdemeanors, and convene highly publicized show trials.
If they do that, they will never be able to let go of power because they’ll experience the same. This will mean a civil war. I doubt the senior democratic leadership is willing to put their necks on the line.
A foreign war is a lot more likely. Given the track record of political Islam in understanding the US, I expect Al Qaeda will take the opportunity to kick up while we’re down, maybe in the middle of 2012. I suspect Obama will seize the chance to unify the country against the enemy. Allah Yerachamuhum (God have mercy on them in Arabic, which implies they are dead).
The brilliant part of Old Man Mose’s predictions was that they were so obscurely stated that you didn’t really understand them until after they had come to pass.
They’ll say that almost a trillion wasn’t BIG ENOUGH! That those Republicans, the three traitors in the Senate, wouldn’t let them make it big enough, and so it just didn’t stimulate.
