David 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 broken glass in it?'

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.'

(found on Willaim Gibsons blog)

Gibson even said that in his blog post, and I forgot it before I got to the end... Hooray for massive sleep-dep!

Thanks for pointing it out. I've updated it.

I think Gobson is short-sighted. He clearly sees it as a binary choice. There are plenty of reasons to not like either major candidate.

the quote is actually from David sedaris, who's a bit more liberal than Gibson
