kavisolo.

dooce has been a daily read of mine for some time now, but every once in a while she writes something that really just bugs the hell out of me. i mean, she has the right to say whatever she wants, but at the same time her uber liberal nature is so retarded that it just makes me want to strangle her.

she lives in utah, and just assumes that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE STATE IS RED. she also writes certain phrases in caps to emphasize a point…that gets annoying too. whatever. she reminds of me someone i once dated, and dear lord will she head down that path.

i digress. this post she did on david sedaris (white people’s all time favourite author) was a bit stupid:

You can imagine that Jon and I had a hard time not giving him a standing ovation, right there in the middle of an essay he hadn’t finished reading, and thankfully laughter erupted throughout the hall immediately. But in the millisecond before the first giggle echoed off the ceiling I thought I might die. Would the audience be receptive? Or would he be engulfed by a sea of silence and then suddenly realize, wait a minute, am I in Utah? Shit! When I woke up this morning I thought I was in Berkeley! I was going to go up to him afterward and tell him how brave I thought he was for reading something like that in a state where there exist pockets of people who think homosexuals and African Americans only exist on NBC, but I thought that wouldn’t be fair. I mean, surely some Utahns have seen them on Bravo, too.

really. i mean come on. DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE THAT DON’T LIKE SEDARIS’ HUMOUR WOULD SPEND THE MONEY TO GO SEE HIM?! notice what i did there? anyway, i hate her assumption that everyone in the room was conservative except her and her husband (we’re so awesome because we care about things that effect us because we are aware!). i didn’t realize that people forked out money in utah just to see someone they would hate and NOT laugh with. the whole state probably had no idea he was even there. GODDAMN.
