Remember the business of the chocolate rations in "1984?"

It was something like 30 grams at the start of the novel, and then there was an announcement that, thanks to the beneficence of Big Brother and the Party, it was being increased to 25 grams. Remember that?

Well, a few scant weeks ago, the main talking point of the Pony Brigade in GDP was that Trump is beating Clinton by 2 points. Now they are saying that, thanks to Bernie rocking and Clinton sucking or whatever, Clinton's lead has narrowed to 6 points.

Here's a new rule: You can't cite Orwell unless you've actually read the guy.
