As you always suspected.
  At the end of 2008 we asked our resident panel of psychics to predict the big events of 2009. Here's what they foresaw:  
  Kandu: "I predict a quick pullout from Iraq and Afghanistan and bipartisan passage of single-payer universal health coverage."  
  Madame Blavinsky: "The world will be shocked by the sudden unraveling of the reputation of the world's greatest golfer, Jack Nicklaus. And Michael Jackson will have his biggest year since 'Thriller.'"  
  Cassandra: "Tea will battle coffee as the nation's favorite beverage, leading to large public tea parties. Stolen emails will reveal Darwin made up evolution."  
  The Oracle: "A breakthrough in modern physics will allow us to go back in time and correct our mistakes, as I just did."  
  Deep Fritz: "Unemployment will exceed 10%, the war in Afghanistan will be escalated and a brilliant entrepreneur will gain fame and fortune by pretending his son has been swept away in a balloon."
