Last year, it was all that righteous fury about the Ground Zero Mosque and how it would surely end modern civilization as we know it.

This year, it can't possibly be Weinergate because that already happened and all the wieners have been grilled.

So what will it be?

The Awl asked various New Yorkers for their guesses, and naturally my answer was hands-down (the throat) the best.

It's worth a scroll. It'll be the scandal of the summer if you don't do so.

I hope it involves two mistresses and John Boehner weeping in public like Jimmy Swaggert. Or like John Boehner if you want to get technical about it.

That the producer and dramaturg for the new Broadway musical "Icarus" conspired to have the lead actor die in an accident involving flying.

ok my prediction is that Nancy Grace killed Casey Anthony. After all the lady doth protest to much. Okay that was a sick tasteless joke. Now maybe I can have my own late Night Talk Show! Now I am scared nancy Grace will find me and tear my head off;(

Thanks to Google, now I know that Exploding Testicles, or Detonating Gonaditus, is a very serious and debilitating condition which affects millions of people around the world.

I'm guessing that on July 27th, Mr. Camping will meet his maker not with a whimper, Type 1 DG, known clinically as Acute Regional Gonadotrophic Hernioma (ARGH), the most common form of the disease, BUT with a bang, Type B DG Osteoulcerative Colonic Hernioma (OuCH) less common than ARGH, but far more serious, and nearly always life threatening.
