It is true, people are funny and es-
ecially the pollsters and the poll-
.eal writers. Better thaTi 99 per
ent of them were far, far wrong In
,eir predcitlons prior to the late
resident.al election. Not only were
'ley wrong, but they left no ground
or an argument. They knew what
uey were saying and that was that.
But the funniest thing, to us, is
.eir explanations why they were
.long and what the future holds
or the President and the country
euerally. What makes it still fun-
ier is why do they think the read-
og pulkic will give the.r opinions a
muient's consideration. Each has

They wrote reams upon reams, and
is slated at the lieginning they were
9 per cent wrong. And, yet, they
ave the gall to write more "opinion.*”
and expect tile people to believe
tin in. We don't think many people
ever read them now.
