Predicting the Future
I’ll be dammed, but Jay Jardine found a sure way to do just that. He’s Canadian, but I think Americans can do just as well.
Eh, how about predictable? Seriously, how old do you think the person who wrote that is? I figure if they’re old enough to use a thesaurus, they ought to be old enough to get over their belief in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy or other fantastic wish-fulfillment vehicles like the enchanted poverty relieving spigot of the federal treasury, but maybe not.
Eh, how about surely not?
He’s speaking of Canada’s federal government pledging (with other people’s money) to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000. Yep, you guessed predicted it. It’s still the same. See, you too can predict the future too.
