Babe Ruth led the league in strike-outs. You will never hit the long ball if you don’t swing the bat.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but as a prognosticator, you suck.

If you predicted it, and they read it, they would have to change plans.

Nobody wants to be predictable, especially by LAZ.

Wow! Good point.

One thing is important to me: I will not be a Dick Morris-type. Morris makes predictions, then when he is wrong, he ignores it and moves to the next one. I feel that is wrong. I feel you should remain accountable and either: A) Stop predicting, or B) Get better at it.

Right now I'm doing the accountable part. I simply won't ignore my misses and move on. That would do a disservice to all of YOU.

This is a pretty unpredictable election season. It’s been a little bit strange.

I have been using my crystal ball for putting practice. ;)

Well I was right about how Obama would overdo it & try to be more hoped up than the previous debate telecast.

Take solace in the fact that the Rage Monkey is always 100% correct!
