The Waffle Prophecy

Last December, in the video Liberal Yearbook 2006 (skip ahead to 6:05/-1:10), I made the following prediction for 2007:

Out of work and despondent, Cynthia McKinney was arrested for assault in a Marietta Waffle House after slapping a waiter, a hostess, and several patrons while trying to run out on a check.  She blamed the incident on new hairdo unfamiliar to WaHo staff, further noting the patrons may have been Jewish.

Ten months later, an Atlanta-area Waffle House indeed finds itself in the news thanks to a celebrity scuffle, but the brawler in question turned out to be a more respectable figure than the disgraced former Congresswoman.

Musician Kid Rock was arrested on Sunday after a fight in a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta just days after he scored his first No. 1 album on U.S. pop charts, police said.

DeKalb County police said they arrested Rock, 36, and five members of his entourage at 5:15 a.m. after an argument with a man who entered the Waffle House escalated into a fight. 

I was just celebrating Rock's very unHollywood common sense a couple weeks back (so far as I can recall, the first time he's appeared on this blog).  It's too bad this appearance is under less auspicious circumstances, but his uncanny by-proxy fulfillment of the McKinney Conjecture earns him a second nod nonetheless.

I suspect blogworthy Kid Rock doings may clump like celebrity deaths, so let's be on the lookout for the third bit of the trifecta.
