Lady Macbeth

Last fall, I was really worried about the Presidential election. Although the polls were showing Hilary in the lead, it was a little too close for comfort. So when I came across three witches in the woods, I asked them to give me a prediction.  And they said that I shouldn't worry: as of next year, for the first time, the leader of the free world will be a woman.

I found that very reassuring. So you can imagine my surprise when Trump won.  I felt extra disappointed, like the finest occult prognosticators had let me down. But now I see that they tricked me:

Well played, witches.
