An addiction to predictions

Su Walker’s look at what 2008 will bring

We hesitantly delved in to this week’s cover story about predictions from a local, yet internationally renowned, clairvoyant and medical intuitive… or what most of us refer to as “a psychic.”

When editor Michael Swanger suggested the idea, I initially was concerned that this type of story may take us a step backwards. We have worked diligently to provide true news coverage in our pages, with the exception, of course, in a certain issue in April. The idea of having Cityview in the realm of supermarket tabloids that tell us Elvis will reappear or that aliens have stolen Britney Spears underwear was a bit disturbing to me.

I got over it.

You see, we, too, are intrigued by predictions, especially those with local angles. And it is hard to argue with Su Walker’s track record of accuracy. If you are curious about the presidential election, the Iraq war or gas prices, read on for her predictions. How about the weather, local media or whether Iowa State will be victorious next fall? Will the Iowa Energy make it? Will Kirk Ferentz be coaching elsewhere? And back to issues that truly matter, will there be another terrorist attack in the United States?

If you are like me, you are skeptical, and you should be. But I am still fascinated by what the future may bring, and whether or not anyone can truly foresee it. Am I convinced? Not yet, but I predict we will all know the outcome soon.

Thanks for reading.
