I hate exit polls. I hate the "experts" sitting there on election night telling us what will happen before the votes are counted and I especially love it when they look stupid. I dug up this old column from one of my favorite columnists, Mike Royko. Mr. Royko urged people to lie to exit pollsters after they voted. Some drive-time DJ's liked his column so much they read it on the air. Next thing you know, the experts were looking pretty stupid as their exit polls were completely wrong that night. Here is the column and if confronted by an exit pollster this week: LIE!!!:

We're screwed any way we go. Obama's been driving this bus since Biden got elected anyway. He's been Biden's handler and how he's going to be Kamala's.
I miss Mike Royko, Lydell Sims, and a few others newpaper writers of the 20th century
Don't we already have more than enough bullshit, KF? Why add to it?
I don't like either of our two choices. How in the hell are these two the absolute best that either party can put out front? Why can't we both have decent viable candidates on both sides of the isle. My thoughts are they don't want to have to go through the BS from opposing parties. Each party will try to destroy their opponents and rip them apart. Until this country can get that under control, we will get what we got like this election cycle.
Vote early, vote often, and never tell the truth to any pollster.
Lying is wrong. It is ALWAYS WRONG. Lying is a sin. It is ALWAYS A SIN.
If you don't like exit polls, tell the pollsters that, and don't answer their questions. But do NOT lie to them.
Had to hold my nose & vote for the least repugnant candidate all the while wondering why this was the best we could do. With either of these the serious problems of curbing the debt, making social security & other social programs solvent & stepping back from trying to fund every international problems will never be addressed.
dont care for pollsters either. Funny column.
Thanks, KF! First Royko column I’ve read in about 30 years. Sure do miss his style of writing and his musings with Slats Grobnik.
Geez, 2:53. If a friend asks what you are doing next weekend, do you tell them you are going to their surprise birthday party, or do you SIN?
4:06 for today's win!
YES @ 4:06 for the win, I agree. Even David "modified" the truth.
And I LOVED Royko's columns. Let's get back to humor and wit where it'll fit!
HOW DO we make social security solvent again? Double the tax on employees and companies? Or slash benefits by 22% -- the $2000 average would be reduced to $1600? Either would do the trick.
4:06 here again, just want to let everyone know it will NOT be a sin to tell your great aunt how much you enjoyed her Christmas fruitcake she’s gonna give you this year. .
