That was fast.

Federal authorities arrested a Cincinnati man Wednesday in connection with an alleged ISIL-inspired plot to attack the U.S. Capitol.


While this technically fulfills prediction #2 for this year, one would be correct to object that Mr. Cornell, age 20, is a deluded patsy, and that this can't be considered a serious attempt to attack the United States. On the other hand, this fits the model of how ISIS and Al Qaeda operates these days --- spew online propaganda and hope that the marginalized pick up the torch.

Speaking of predictions, I had predicted (2014.10) that alleged "psycho" George Zimmerman would get in trouble with the law in 2014. That prediction didn't come true --- I was off by nine freaking days.

Also, as for my prediction 2015.8 that the Ducks would beat Alabama....whodathunk?
