I have discovered a foolproof method of predicting elections, and it costs me nothing. I provide it here at no direct charge to the taxpayer. There is no such thing as a free lunch, so I have to insert the word “direct” in that sentence, a disclaimer required at the insistence of my legal staff. […]
