A bit late for a New Years feature, but I'm all out of ideas and yet determined to post something cause I'm always afraid that if I skip a day here or there it won't be long before my next post is my last. But then again, who knows what tomorrow may bring?

The Supremes (the Nonet from Washington, not the trio from Detroit) will publish their opinion on the constitutionality of the HealthCare Bill without once mentioning the words Medicare or Medicaid--despite the fact that both of those words are the simplest and most obvious arguments for making the entire case before them moot.

Sarah Palin will be talked into trying to make a bid as Mitt's VP choice. But she won't know that the people talking her into it were working for the Dems.

Adrift on Driftwood will continue to exist as a blog, but all content will be uploaded automatically and directly through offshore pirate digital content sources. Those sources will provide dependable news, wonderful music, and provocative literary content unavailable through mainstream channels.
