  Dick Cheney will resign the Vice-Presidency, saying that he wanted to “spend more time with my family.” Less that 12 hours later, Geo. W Bush will nominate John McCain to the office. Vowing to block McCain from attaining the office, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will....

  The war in Iraq... won't end.

  
  
• [3] David! from NYC July 31, 2008 - 10:29AM

  A heatwave will increase the terrible conditions on subway platforms and a snafu on the 4 line. A riot breaks out at Union Square, and the MTA shuts down debit/credit to restore order.

  The conclave will elect Barack Obama. The Queen will abdicate and Prince Charles will hand over his reign to Barack Obama. Kim Jong Il will step down as Dear Leader to pursue his life's dream to act in B films, and he will leave North Korea in the hands of Barack Obama. And so forth.

  Obama's VP will be announced....? And it will be John the Baptist.

  BRIAN HAVE A GREAT VACATION! Have you told us where you're going in case we have to call you to come back early since no great news event can go without you doing your show.

  haha!

  WNYC's building will be turn into another Starbucks, Bank, and Pharmacy.

  
  
• [8] O from Forest Hills July 31, 2008 - 11:03AM

  Hilary Clinton will say that she is running as an Independent for President.

  Donald Trump will buy the Brooklyn Bridge and charge a $20 toll.

  Australia will withdraw from the Olympics.

  
  
• [9] Jeffrey Slott from East Elmhurst July 31, 2008 - 11:03AM

  Bush will declare Martial Law and suspend the forth-coming election.

  
  
• [10] seth from Long Island July 31, 2008 - 11:07AM

  My greatest fear is that there will be a massive terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11.

  
  
• [11] David! from NYC July 31, 2008 - 11:08AM

  The MTA decides that the debit/credit is just too expensive and announces a return to tokens. It's partly underwritten by Madonna, who will have exclusive rights to half the ad space and the recorded announcements. She hails the move as a return to an "edgier" NYC.

  
  
• [12] robert from park slope July 31, 2008 - 11:10AM

  Barach Obama will win the 200 meters in Beijing

  
  
• [13] Steve (the other one) from Manhattan July 31, 2008 - 11:10AM

  I'm guessing some sort of terrorist attempt to damage/destroy an Olympic venue. Also, watch for those poor athletes to keel over from the pollution in great numbers.

  
  
• [14] CK from NYC July 31, 2008 - 11:10AM

  All humor aside, I am completely concerned we will invade Iran while you are away! Sometimes small things happen but sometimes they are big. There's no shortage of people guessing this will happen before the elections.

  
  
• [15] O from Forest Hills July 31, 2008 - 11:13AM

  Bush can't invade Iran without Congress approval.

  
  
• [16] antonio from park slope July 31, 2008 - 11:29AM

• [19] Chuck in NJ from NJ July 31, 2008 - 11:40AM

  I predict ... Nothing!

  
  
• [20] Rosie from Brooklyn July 31, 2008 - 11:40AM

  Nooooo! Don't leave us Brian!!

  (Have a great vacation.)

  
  
• [21] Ahmad Raza July 31, 2008 - 11:41AM

  All of the optimists will be shocked and surprised when the Chinese govt. suddenly announces that it won't allow uncensored internet access to visiting journalists during the Olympics.

  "But... but... they told us they would!!!"

  
  
• [22] Tillie from Manhattan July 31, 2008 - 11:41AM

  McCain will announce that he has chosen Mitt Romney as his vice-presidential nominee.

  (Obama won't announce his choice until just before the convention, but I'm betting that the choice will be Evan Bayh.)

  
  
• [23] Suzanne from NJ July 31, 2008 - 11:45AM

  Hillary will file for divorce, removing the biggest impediment to being chosen as Obama's VP

  
  
• [24] RCT from Manhattan July 31, 2008 - 11:52AM

  Truly weird:

  John McCain will choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

  
  
• [25] Paulo from Paterson, New Jersey July 31, 2008 - 11:53AM

  George Bush will announce his plan for a WWII-style national mobilization for a greener America.

  
  
• [26] Richie from Williamsburg July 31, 2008 - 11:53AM

  One of our presidential candidates will probably drop because of some unforseen embarassing issue, that will ruin their chances anyway.

  
  
• [27] gabby from new york July 31, 2008 - 11:54AM

  I was going to say Barack Obama announces that his VP choice is Hillary Clinton. But Suzanne [30]'s is even better!

  
  
• [28] Morse from Brooklyn July 31, 2008 - 11:55AM

  Rove will be arrested for contempt.

  
  
• [29] Robert from NYC July 31, 2008 - 11:55AM

  Nancy Pelosi will call for impeachment of both Buch and Cheney.

  
  
• [30] g. dyer from Mendham, NJ July 31, 2008 - 11:55AM

  In order to insure Obama's election, Hillary will be named his V.P.

  
  
• [31] exlege from brooklyn July 31, 2008 - 11:56AM

  Gushing crude oil will be discovered in Adrondack State Park and Brian, you will be the on-the-scene reporter to cover it; to the great dismay of Brian's family.

  
  
• [32] Katie Kennedy from Huntington, NY July 31, 2008 - 11:56AM

  First, I think WNYC should forbid you to go on vacation. I can't stand it when you're not there.

  Second, the headline will be, "Bush Invades Iran." See, you really don't want to be away when that happens.

  Katie

  
  
• [33] Enrique from Elizabeth NJ July 31, 2008 - 11:56AM

  Fidel Castro will reappear wearing his olive-green uniform; healthier than ever!

  
  
• [34] NYC Thinker from NYC July 31, 2008 - 11:57AM

  Global warming will come to critical mass. Oceans rise enough to submerge Manhattan. You will be safe at high altitude.

  
  
• [35] drew July 31, 2008 - 11:57AM

  There will be a Dark Knight Joker imitator inciting some kind of anarchy.

  Also Gov. Paterson will have another affair after witnessing his wife talking to another man.

  While in the Adirondacks, Brian is going to take a day trip to Saratoga, avoid the racetrack and eat some crepes at the restaurant, Ravenous! One of my favs. Have a great vacation!

  
  
• [36] chris o from New York City July 31, 2008 - 11:59AM

  Brian,

  Don't you hate when cars honk at you when you are on your bike? Even when it is intended as a friendly honk?

  
  
• [37] O from Forest Hills July 31, 2008 - 12:00PM

  If you go to Saratoga, don't forget the Old Bryan Inn and SPAC to see the Philadelphia Orchestra

  
  
• [38] Yvette from Riverdale, Bronx July 31, 2008 - 12:05PM

  Atheletes will have to drop out of events on a wholesale basis because of the untenable pollution situation in Beijing.

  
  
• [39] Joanne from Boonton, NJ July 31, 2008 - 12:12PM

  Cheney will go quail hunting with Bush.

  In Lake Placid, check out Lisa G.'s. Have a great vacation, Brian!

  
  
• [40] O from Forest Hills July 31, 2008 - 12:22PM

  Also check out the Hall of Springs in Saratoga! Really nice!!

  
  
• [41] the truth from Atlanta/New York July 31, 2008 - 01:00PM

  The stand in will read one of my posts on air.

  
  
• [42] Sweating In Brooklyn from Brooklyn July 31, 2008 - 02:12PM

  Brian,

  Many cannot afford such a long vacation in the mountains. Thanks for rubbing it in. Staying in touch with your listeners?

  Regards.

  
  
• [43] Roberta from Manhattan July 31, 2008 - 02:34PM

  It will be discovered that the frozen dessert, Mars, not only had water but that you can get satellite radio up there to listen to the Brian Lehrer Show!

  
  
• [44] rosie from ny July 31, 2008 - 10:57PM

  Manny Ramirez will be traded.

  
  
• [45] Sivaprasad S from Pine Brook, NJ July 31, 2008 - 10:59PM

  Barack Obama is going to announce his running mate.

  
  
• [46] Dave from Millbrook, NY August 01, 2008 - 01:43AM

  It will be discovered that Peter Sellers is still alive and has created the character 'Dick Cheney' preparing for Christopher Guest's updated remake of "Dr. Strangelove".

  
  
• [47] constance from NYC August 11, 2008 - 10:40AM

  8/11: not a prediction; the jinx is still in play!

  Brian,

  You missed the Edwards Scandal!
