End of the Year Scoring: 13.5/20

[ageofalejandro]

Correctly guessed:

1. NDAA was signed
2. Third world coups
3. Occupy survived last winter
4. Obama cruised to an easy victory
5. Ron Paul, Newt, and Huntsman had no chance
6. Republicans paired a fundied up Romney with a batshit insane VP candidate.
7. More and louder talk about civil war (and succession, which I'm gonna count since it's still "I don't want to be an American anymore")
8. War on women got bad
9. War on minorities got bad
10. War on the poor got pretty bad
11. Obama and friends used Republican corporate worship against them, even though they are just as bad
12. August's guess on the economy getting better came true
13. Spain's economy is fucked
14. I give myself a half point - the Petrus scandal happened. But no closeted Republicans were outed.

Incorrectly guessed:

1. Nasty mess at the Olympics didn't happen
2. Half of all Congress people didn't lose (I didn't account for gerrymandering, which I should have)
3. No gay scandals
4. No Israel-Iran crap (thank fucking god)
5. SOPA, et al. didn't pass
6. The Republicans didn't really alienate Independents

Too early:

1. No one will seriously tax the wealthy. The Dems ran on that and won, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be an unfulfilled promise.
2. unrest here in the US in the next few years
