Quote of the Day (John Updike, on ‘The Rich Above You’)
"No
matter how hard you climb, there are always the rich above you, who got there
without effort. Lucky stiffs, holding you down, making you discontent so you
buy more of the crap advertised on television." —John Updike, Rabbit at Rest (1990)
That
quote explains a lot about the current election and its discontents, doesn’t
it?
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
