Our Predictive Abilities Improve ... A Bit.
Last weeks predictions, and the results:
1) Bush will announce a Supreme Court choice widely viewed as a right-wing nutcase. 1 point - read about it here.
2) Scooter the Indicted will reach a plea deal with Fitzgerald, or it will be reported that his lawyer is in talks seeking such a deal. 0 points - in fact, Scooter's new lawyer has said (tongue-in-cheek?) that he will fight to the death.
3) DeLay's motion to transfer venue will be denied, but he'll get a new judge; the motion for a speedy trial will also be granted. The hearing is November 1st. 1/2 point for the new judge; the rest will have to wait.
Overall batting average: .420. This week: .500.

I can't remember what my predictions were, except that Maldusa's head would do a 360. That simply HAS to have happened... what does that make my batting average?
