I just had to tell our Russian art director that the Roman Genn caricature we had ordered for the magazine of Hillary Clinton crying, with Barack Obama ascendant in foreground, had to be changed. Instead, Hillary Clinton should be crying, with Barack Obama in the background deflated. She was very confused: ”But she’s still crying?”

“Yes, Luba.”

“People voted for her because she cried?”

“I can’t explain the mysteries of the American electorate to you, Luba.”

(Actually, Drew’s substance theory sounds plausible to me.)
