Rewind seven years...
On 9/12/2001 if someone had told you that by the end of 2008:
• There'd have been nary a single terrorist attack inside the U.S...
• A man with the middle name of Hussein would have been elected President of the United States...
• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be bankrupt; and Citibank would be trading at $3 a share...
• An undersea earthquake would kill nearly a quarter of a million people...
• The Clinton administration would be back in power...
• The Saudi Arabian Navy would have joined forces with NATO...
• The entire planet would be suffering through a catastrophic cooling cycle...
• An SNL comedian would be just a few dead voters away from winning a U.S. Senate seat...
• Saddam Hussein would have been hung by the neck until dead by a new and Democratic Iraqi government...
• The New York Times would be both a laughingstock and a penny stock...
• Gas prices would have swung from $5 a gallon to $1.50 in just a handful of months...
Well, if someone had told you all of that, you'd seriously have that person committed. Seriously.
Well, this proves at least one point.
Science fiction ain't s**t.
