BOY'S CLUB

They said having a black man as a presidential candidate would be a historical shift, monumental, a stunning sea change, blah blah blah-- but Jesus Christ, it's still two guys up there trying to out-dull the other. It's been so boring since Hillary left the race. Maybe we'd still be interested if she were still there on tv, smiling and nodding in her bright red jackets, or that yellow one with the black piping, ooo, remember that? What colour! Barack looks like a practical joker shaved a grey crayon into his concealer, and John's trying to give himself a healthy glow by using Cindy's blush. All over his face.

Okay, it's not just their dull blue suits and monotone voices and dull pasty faces. They're a couple of guys. Barack may be black, but he's still just a guy. Despite what's been said about Hillary, she's not a guy, and maybe that would have been the biggest, most monumental, most historical sea change of all.
