I've been looking for someone to sum up my thoughts on the American election, and I think Sedaris has done the best possible job (not surprising - he's a very funny author).From his Shouts & Murmurs piece of last week:
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.
I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?
