SACRAMENTO, CA—At a press conference outside the capitol building yesterday, likely gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner announced a plan to save California money by only making 77 cents on the dollar compared to previous male governors.
The cost savings to the state offered by Jenner has propelled her (a female pronoun, since she is a woman) to the front of a potentially crowded field of candidates in the upcoming recall election.
"If you elect me governor, the gender pay gap will save us lots of money, allowing us to balance the budget," Jenner, who is definitely a woman, said to reporters. "The harsh reality is we women make a lot less than men -- 77 cents on the dollar, in fact. That's just what we women have to deal with, being born women, and stuff. That's not something we can change."
"I mean, if we could just snap our fingers and announce that we were men, we'd make a lot more money, but that's just not reality. It's not the way the world works. So we're stuck with the hand dealt to us by biology."
Analysts estimate that just by being a woman, which Jenner certainly is, Jenner will make $161,700 a year as governor, instead of the usual pay of $210,000. The savings of $48,300 will be enough to start chipping away at the deficit, or else to throw one fancy dinner at the French Laundry.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
