I try to conceal my admiration for Mark Steyn as a journalist and thinker, but it doesn't work- so why bother? Scroll down these NRO '06 predictions and you'll find some of the boldest and more interesting predictions for the coming year from the man himself. The one I liked the most was:

'Osama bin Laden will continue to be dead, and will be confirmed as such.'

Food for thought. There's also one about the fall of the German Government. And then there's the funny one at the end.
