predictions
I almost just wrote this down and taped it to my fridge, but anyone can say they predicted something, what I want is proof, later, that I’m as big an idiot as I claim to be after a few drinks. So I’ve been playing around with CNN’s electoral vote calculator, spurred on by this post [...]
