George Saunders is winning

Now, let us discuss the Élites. There are two kinds of folks: Élites and Regulars. Why people love Sarah Palin is, she is a Regular. That is also why they love me. She did not go to some Élite Ivy League college, which I also did not. Her and me, actually, did not go to the very same Ivy League school. Although she is younger than me, so therefore she didn’t go there slightly earlier than I didn’t go there. But, had I been younger, we possibly could have not graduated in the exact same class. That would have been fun. Sarah Palin is hot. Hot for a politician. Or someone you just see in a store. But, happily, I did not go to college at all, having not finished high school, due to I killed a man. But had I gone to college, trust me, it would not have been some Ivy League Élite-breeding factory but, rather, a community college in danger of losing its accreditation, built right on a fault zone, riddled with asbestos, and also, the crack-addicted professors are all dyslexic.

thanks Jess!

    Hey Shawn,

    It’s a little creepy to be leaving a hello message to your blog, a message that is not at all a comment on what comes before…oh well. Somebody directed me to your blog, and how funny to find you after all these years. Sounds like we’ve had similar paths — Fulbright scholarships, writing, etc. Anyway, write if you like.

    rappemily@yahoo.com.

    And hey — get on Facebook!
