Boris Bad Enough?

"Who dat guy? He got da funny hair. He be mare of sum city? We already gotta guy wid funny hair runnin' his ass fo' prezzy dent. He be prezzy dent o' Ingle Lann?"

I'm quoting the average New York Post reader on the subway.

Discovering there is a "Boris Johnson," and that he was BORN IN NEW YORK, is the ex-mayor of London, and now might be Prime Minister, are the bare bones of the Post's ludicrous thumbnail sketch.

I did NOT edit anything out.

That was IT.

According to the Post, Boris was mayor of London while actually being a U.S. citizen. His biggest claims to fame are a) fucking a lot b) saying or doing stupid things, and c) having hair almost as silly as Trump's.

The attention span of a Post reader couldn't be tested further, not when the alternative articles involve ads from bargain stores, Kardashian news, the latest on the Mets and Yankees, or a juicy murder or two.

All seriousness aside, Taylor Swift would get more detailed coverage dumping a boyfriend.

As for Brexit, the US papers are congratulating Hedge Fund weasels and other scum, who instantly dumped their stock and bought gold.

Oh yes, the other Brexit news is: "Serena Williams will be playing for less money thanks to Brexit!"

WHAT? Somebody determined that because the pound is now weak against the dollar, Serena, likely to be a winner or runner-up, will get $200,000 less money when she banks it. Which is a bit different than Wimbledon announcing, "Due to Brexit, we are cutting the winning prizes by 20%."

And who gives a damn what Serena Williams makes? She is one of the world's richest and most famous tennis stars. She's not gonna walk out because the exchange rate fluctuated.

But what else is important to Americans? None of the other big tennis name at Wimbledon are American.

Meanwhile, just to confuse matters, some columnists are declaring that this is the "best time ever to go to England."
