Yesiree Bob, those MSM newspapers sure can predict the future with deadly accuracy

Nothing like writing articles just for the sake of writing articles, no way José. ¿right?

My wife and I are doing some housecleaning, and we have some old newspapers that got stored among the various debris.

I offer, from the main American paper here, a front page headline about Germany from May 24, 2005:

"Reality dawns for Christian Democrats, Merkel is facing uphill struggle to become chancellor"

A line from the article: "Her supporters say she will accept the challenge, despite her negative image, both in the eastern and western parts of Germany."

Yep, she sure had a negative image here. After all, since that articla was published, she has only won four consecutive terms as Chancellor, and that's as bad a record as FDR! Only ONE American university invited her to be their commencement speaker last year. Yep, that's one dismal record, alright.

Then today, in that same paper:

"Sanders's rise increases anxiety among centrists"

If the paper is as deadly accurate as they were with Merkel, the American center should be absolutely quaking in their boots with anxiety by now. Shouldn't they?

Then I remembered a line from Porgy and Bess: "It Ain't Necessarily So."

Of the three, I think Gershwin's "Sportin' Life" got it right: it ain't necessarily so.
"The things that you're liable to read in the Bible (or the New York Times), ain't necessarily so."
