    Excellent title to this new feature...is it perhaps

    ...a knowing wink (an homage?) to the first presidential debate when the hapless, heaving, smirking, sighing, glob-of-spit-in-the-corner-of-his-mouth Bush, yet again at a loss for a coherent answer, sputtered, "See, (long pause, hands pressed to his chest) I know how the world works!...".

    Well done!
