In the world of card games there is a book called “Hoyles Rules of Card Games”. Edmond Hoyle was alive circa 1674, he crafted a set of rules governing the playing of Whist and according to available information Mr. Hoyle tutored the gentry of the day in the rules of the card games of the day. Hoyles name has been used in conjunction with numerous card games but essentially had no input. Now when some one wants to evoke an element of truth to a statement or situation “according to Hoyle” is used as a reference. Now we come to modern times where  the veracity of our political “leaders” and the aspirants is suspect. There appears to nothing done according to Hoyle. All actions seem to be more in line with how  many votes can I get?
