After a close election you always see them play this game: The People with Expired Library cards went heavily for candidate X. If they had gone for Y the result of the election would have been different. Therefore, the People with Expired Library Cards are the most important group in the country - they decide elections. Of Course you could say the same thing about Catholics, Jews, Armenians etc, etc, etc. but never mind., Now the conventional thinking is you have to pander to the Expireds. But, someone says, if we do that we may anger their traditional enemies, The People with Up to Date Library Cards. Quick, get the book of Very Wise and Expensive Consultants and find us an expert on Expireds and one on UptoDaters. The Candidate closets himself with his library card experts and after two weeks they emerge with the PERFECT position on library cards. The Candidate emerges and calls a press conference. He lays it out in great detail then asks for questions. A reporter stands up and asks: "Can we see your income taxes?". The Candidate stands there, eyes bugged, jaws flapping, going humina humina humina.
