Question from reader

How do you cook a statistical goose,

When the goose is a political caboose?

You can say you don’t know the logistics.

Make it  hard  to learn past data lessons,

Simply eliminate the negative.

By constantly changing the subject to save faces.

Create your own statistical stew juice.
