Poser Propheteering

I was thinking of predictions recently, and everyone's tendency after making them to trumpet the ones they get right, and say a quiet whoops about the ones they get wrong. Apparently, the desire to be a prophet is strong in human nature. One thing that is definitely predictable is that people announce only their correct predictions.

So this being a blog, obviously I'm coming to you with evidence that I called something long before the rest of the world.

Note this story from the March 12, 2009 New York Times: Forget Britney; Media Outrage Hits Big Spenders By Brian Stelter. (Link.) It's an interesting article about how the paparazzi are not only chasing celebrities, but lately they've taken to chasing rich criminals with no connection to showbiz.

I knew it, dear reader. I knew it! The Prophecy of Lar has come true. For yea, I have foreseen and even advocated this trend.

Huh?

As you no doubt recall, since you've been a faithful reader since long before it was cool (okay, that would still be now, but let's assume you've been reading this blog for a while) I advocated the papa-z chasing the truly powerful over two years ago in February 2007. I refer to the timeless classic: Watching Hollywood like a hawk. Watching Washington like a blind duck. Preventing Vietnam War Part 3: Iran with Secret Weapon Paparazzi. (Link.)

So, what other predictions has Lar the Prophet made that came true?

Uh. Um. Ah. Well. Hm.

Bother me not, fool! For I must go now to meditate on my next vision!

Wow, a self-proclaimed prophet who, when pushed for more predictions, belches out some pomposity and runs for cover. Who could have foreseen that?
