All in the Games.

By way of my sis-in-law Lotta, here's a funky animated gif: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton play the oldest game of all. (The text is early on from Neil Gaiman's Sandman, when Morpheus descends into Hell to retrieve his helmet and is challenged to a contest of wits to reclaim his prize, at the risk of unending torment.)

Strangely enough, just as she sent me this, I'd just grabbed an animated gif of a different game, which -- at least imho -- also has some metaphorical resonance for the primary season. (For those who don't follow basketball, that's virtually an automatic basket by 7'5" Yao Ming getting stuffed out of nowhere by 5'7" Knick Nate Robinson...Notice also (in the Youtube) how Yao tries to play the victim card after ignominious defeat...)
