There are those of you who are still skeptical of my skill as a forecaster of reality show outcomes, cultural trends, and otherwise. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to remind you of my genius.

In this post I revealed to you all that I'd purchased Apple stock. I explained that my hopes for the company were high. And wasn't exactly right on everything, I was close: Steve Jobs is not now Disney's CEO, but he is its largest shareholder; Disney, Pixar, and Apple did not merge, but respected financial publication Barron's said an Apple buyout of Disney might be in the cards. But behold the post yourself, naysayer, and despair.
