Sedaris on Undecided Voters

“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."

- Author David Sedaris, on undecided voters

bits of broken glass.... LMFAO!!!! traci read "when Engulfed in Flames" and thought it was hilarious. I tried to read it.. and kept getting stuck on the fashion/histrionics/drama interspersed between the humor. I like David S in small doses. This quote you've got here is classic!
