Now THAT’S Hedging Your Bets!
Laura Rozen, with nigh-inexplicable judiciousness writes:
Indeed, the Iranian hostage crisis can arguably be said to have impacted the outcome of the 1980 US presidential election itself.
Kids these days. Let me try:
1. One can plausibly claim that the economic depression following the Crash of 1929 was a factor in the Presidential contest between Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt.
2. The attack on Fort Sumter may well have signalled a worsening of relations between the Northern and Southern states after Lincoln’s election.
3. It is at least reasonable to speculate that the radioactive spider bite Peter Parker suffered on his field trip played a role in his gaining super powers.
I may need to do more of these kinds of sentences if I become one of those online magazines.

I don’t think “The attack on Fort Sumter may well have signalled a worsening of relations between the Northern and Southern states after Lincoln’s election” can ever be topped in the annals of judiciousness.
