The Perils Of Punditry
Many years ago in Moscow, there was a weather-caster named Rudolph was the most accurate on his predictions than any other weather person in history. He was always 100% accuracy rate in predicting rain was a source of great pride to the Communist party.
One day he predicted that Moscow would have such an intense rain storm that houses would be flooded and streets would wash away. Well that day came and it was absolutely perfect. All day the sun was shining and the birds were singing. Rudolph's wife told him that she thought he might actually be wrong this time. Rudolph said,"I'm not wrong, you just wait." The sun set and Rudolph's wife said, "You were wrong". Rudolph told her the day wasn't over yet.
An extremely heavy rain storm woke them both up about two hours after they had gone to bed. "See - I was right again!" said Rudolph. "Yes, you were," his wife said, "Tell me, how can you be so accurate all the time?" To which Rudolph replied, "Rudolph The Red Knows Rain, Dear."
