"This is inconceivable," said Nate Silver as he furiously punched numbers into his calculator. "I'm really good at numbers and everyone knows the discipline of statistics is the only real way to discern the future and make predictions. There's literally no other source of truth in the world except math!"
The Babylon Bee implements a little-known method of studying ancient wisdom, divine truth, and human nature to make flawless predictions of what will happen in the future with a success rate of 100%.
"Those methods of prediction were discredited long ago," said Silver. "Yeah, our numbers may have been off a little bit, but I must attribute that to the possibility that a crack in the space-time continuum caused multiple timelines to collide and cause chaos in our particular area of the multiverse. It's possible Dr. Strange is involved too. We actually did a really good job and it's not our fault that the timeline didn't match up properly!"
Out-of-work pollsters have tried to get jobs at The Babylon Bee but have all been rejected for being so incredibly bad at predicting things. Fortunately, many pollsters are landing on their feet to pursue lucrative and fulfilling careers selling essential oils to their Facebook friends.
