NOT IN LIVING MEMORY...

By Bob Walsh

Anomalous occurrences to happen. Black swans are real. Last year there was recordable snowfall in Cairo Egypt for the first time in living memory. Last night the Cubs won the world series for the first time in living memory. Perhaps there are miracles. Maybe it's just the Lords of Karma have a strange sense of humor.

It looks like it is now a horse race. Three weeks ago technical analysis said Hilary was going to be about 125 electoral college votes ahead of what was needed for the brass ring. Yesterday the same analysis said Hillary was ahead of the needed number by eight votes. The inertia, which is IMHO a real phenomenon, is shifting pro-Trump, or at least anti-Hillary. Will he win? Damned if I know. I HOPE so. There are at least two reliable polls now that are saying YES. More are saying NO, but within the margin of error.

Nice thing about this Black Swan, if it flies out way, is that it may mean that by this time next year Bill and Hillary will be under indictment for RICO violations. Damn, wouldn't that be sweet? I am not holding my breath, I am not betting the rent money on it, but I confess to being cautiously optimistic.
