David Sedaris on Undecided Voters
From Raleigh native author David Sedaris’ article in the New Yorker:
“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.

Typical parochial, dismissive, snide attitude. Stubborn conservative ignorance or eye-rolling liberal snobbery. They’re all just preaching to their respective choirs.

I felt it was the same but it was still funny. If you can’t laugh at yourself than who can you laugh at?
I so wish everyone would take themselves a little less seriously. Neither Sedaris or his sister(NPR) take themselves seriously. That’s what makes them FUNNY!

I agree, it was pretty darn funny.
Since I can often think of Democrats as being a bit “Chicken”, I can imagine which side is the other platter option!
