Apologies to my American readers, but the Ghana Girl inside of me can’t discuss last night’s debate with any level of finesse. My Continent breddehs and sistahs will understand me when I say: HHHHHEEEEEHHHHHH!!!! Oh, chale did you see how Joe Biden just disgraced Paul Ryan last night? It wasn’t good kraaaa.
