Last year, I was right on Pope John Paul II passing away, but half-right on another cursed team becoming the next to win the World Series; it would be the Chicago White Sox. Here's what I'm hoping will happen in 2006...which, by the way, has already started in Australia:

• The Seattle Seahawks, who've been red-hot in the NFL as of late, will win Super Bowl XL giving Mike Holmgrem the lifelong chance to raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the air
• Target will finally get its first store in Alaska -- and it will be here in Fairbanks at the old Fred Meyer
• The Democrats will take back Capitol Hill from the troubled Republicans in the mid-term elections, while Stephen Harper will be elected Canada's next Prime Minister
• XM and Sirius Satellite Radio will finally expand to all 50 states, now that Howard Stern will be heading to the latter at the beginning of the year
• Billy Graham will be the next to go after John Paul II
• Michelle Kwan will finally get Olympic gold at the Winter games in Italy after her previous silver and bronze finishes in Nagano and Salt Lake City respectively
• And with the Chicago White Sox's World Series curse has been lifted, the Cubs will be next after 98 years

We'll see if any of those come true. And from me to you...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
