Post-reality continues to delight and surprise us as Hillary Clinton's death was announced by WABC TV news anchorman Joe Torres yesterday. There's little in the way of explanations out there for the strange gaffe, if it really is a gaffe, which then depends on your definition of "really", or what "is" is. And so on.

The tragic not-actual demise of Ms. Clinton clears the path for a Donald Trump victory in the upcoming not-actual U.S. election, provided that Clinton's body-double Teresa Bramwell, played by actor Kevin Kline, fails to ignite the loyalty of the Democratic Party, the Deep State that actually runs things behind the scenes, or, less critically, the American electorate.
