Non-Dorky Poll: General Fears

As promised (threatened?) in the previous post, here's a space for more general commentary in response to the question asked by our Corporate Masters, and modified slightly for blog use:

What non-scientific developments do you fear you'll be blogging or reading about in 2008?

Consider this open to all areas of politics and pop culture. What do you fear to see on blogs in the next year? The election of President Huckabee? The phrase "#1 best-selling author Jonah Goldberg"? A New Kids on the Block reunion album and tour?

Leave your answer in the comments, and do try to keep a civil tone. I have the keys to the disemvoweller, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I am afraid of the disemvoweller! LOL!

I'm afraid the LOLCats fad will still be going strong all year.

Have to say it.

A year of nothing but what to expect since Paris Hilton is expecting. Britney was bad enough. I couldn't handle trimester to trimester coverage of Paris Hilton.

I'm afraid that we'll be reading about the continuing meltdowns of the American economy, the American world standing and the Middle East. On the other hand, I think we'll also be reading about the upsurge of fortunes for the Chinese.
