Overheard...

An apolitical teenage daughter and her dad are listening to NPR on the way home.

"Who's that?", she asks, looking up from the four inch portal of a smart phone.

"Hillary Clinton. She's giving a victory speech", replies the dad, clearly delighted by the engagement.

"She sounds phony...", she remarks.

They listen for a bit.

Suddenly, Hillary breaks into a working class affect to refer to union plumbers in her speech and the daughter laughs out loud.

"She's trying so hard, she sounds so fake!"

Her father didn't raise a fool.
