David Sedaris takes on the "Undecideds"

And all I can say is, Thank You David Sedaris. You saved me the trouble of blogging about it myself. Because I've seriously wanted to knock some common sense into undecided heads myself these days.

Not that anyone really needs my inducement to go read a funny David Sedaris piece, but here's a teaser anyway:

"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."

Here's the link--do your funny bone a favor and go read it: http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2008/10/27/081027sh_shouts_sedaris
