Hey, why don’t we all club together and round up some lepers to send to Obama? I bet he’d fucking cure them. It’d be cool too - a whole plane full of lepers landing at Ronnie Reagan international, stumbling landside, waving their stumps in the general direction of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: a global vote of confidence in America renewed. Anyone got any lepers?
tangentially, this reminds me of that Martin Amis short story that he abandoned (bits of which I seem to remember seeing in the Grauniad?)

In what way is this US election "historic" as the media keep on telling us? One of the candidates (and the eventual winner) is black, that, as far as I can tell, is all.

Leprosy? No, mate, you'll be wanting scrofula - second door on the right. HAND.
