How to look like a SooperGenius without even trying

Sylvia Browne and the rest of Larry King Live's useful idiots, look out! Your cold-reading technique has nothing, nothing, on the prognosticative skills of the Sultan of Dannystan.

First, you predict something on a go-forward basis:

With regard to the transmission of power and how the power is going to be wielded [sic], we took a unique approach and a smart approach, quite frankly. We made an application to Trans-Energy so that we would be able to wield that power through Quebec. If, in fact, we do not sell any power to Quebec, well then we would have the right under the FERC rules, basically, to transmit and to transport power through Quebec. That is a right which is there. They are allowed to wield into the States, therefore we should be allowed to wield through Quebec, and we do not expect to have a contrary ruling on that.

Then, after you get a contrary ruling, you give the CBC, live on the tee vee, an entirely contradictory retrodiction of that same thing, on a go-backwards basis, naturally:

We anticipated this, this has been their practice over the course of the last several years.

Either way, my, you looks some smart Danny, espeically in that three-piece suit.

My, you looks some smart.
