Cheers to Bill in Portland Maine for taking a look back at 2006 in his Cheers and Jeers Diary on DailyKos. At this time last year, who' a thunk it?
But as 2006 draws to a close, I find myself looking ahead to what 2007 will bring. So, I am dusting off my cracked and off center crystal ball and taking a swing and probably more than a few misses. But as the old song goes:
Que sera, sera,
whatever will be, will be,
the future's not ours to see,
Que sera, sera.
So, here goes ...

Nancy Pelosi is named Valentine of the Decade as the first female speaker of the House. And oh BTW, her 100 hour program sails thorough Congress and is signed into law by the President.
The Chicago Bears led by a strong performance by former Gator QB Rex Grossman win the Super Bowl in a thrilling over time game.

OK, that's the first quarter of 2007. I think that's enough for now. All snarky comments are welcome, if I can snark back. Also, suggestions for the 2nd quarter of 2007 greatly appreciated.

OK, there are mine for the 1st Quarter of 2007. Now its your turn. Get in the game. Tell us what you see happening in 2007. Not that we'd ever look back and check up on you! :)
Off-topic, but you guys should have a link to your mailing list on your site so people can join.
You have a spelling error in your banner text: "A gathering spot for Florida Kossacks to keep in touch with issues of primary concerns to Floridians, or wahtever else Florida Kossacks might think wothwhile."
That should be worthwhile.
Also, a "contact us" link would be good too. Although, I've only used blogger on my own domain, rather than using its hosting so I don't know if you can set up a contact form.
BTW, I'm meowmissy at Daily Kos.
