It’s Friday and The Fredster Feels Pretty Smart

So why do I suddenly feel so smart? Well I’ve made two predictions to family, friends friends and co-workers (but, not on the air or online at wspa.com) about two completely unrelated topics.

I now present this headline from Friday’s The State newspaper:

I did make these predictions. I really, really did.

Would I lie?
