“I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”
(read it all).
Where are the comments? David Sedaris is AMAZING.
I, at least, laughed out loud and sent it on to my co-workers, and then we all laughed.
David Sedaris is incredible.
It’s funny, but it kind of explains the undecided even though that wasn’t his intent. He just assumes dead chickens are food. For vegans and vegetarians, they’re not. So… an undecided is a bit like a veg*n trying to decide between two non-food options. Well, I’m not especially excited about either.
I’ve actually been in that situation.
“Beef or chicken?”
“I’ll have the vegan option”
“Sorry, all out. Beef or chicken?”
“Can I have the sides?”
“Not without the main dish”
“Just give me a soda.”
Y’all GOTTA see the Daily Show short on an undecided focus group….sublime. I have that Sedaris quote taped to my door.
That’s great. I came across a website to help undecided voters figure out who best fits with the issues that concern them.

Of course, this only helps if these undecideds really care about issues and not personality.
Ooops. I guess I don’t know how to do links. Here’s the site.

I adore David Sedaris. Just when I think I love him as much as I possibly could he gets even better. Bravo, Mr. Sedaris.
Its not nice to compare Obama to a “platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it.”
