Quote of the Day (Cora Frazier, on ‘Hunger Games’ Heroine as White House Intern Applicant)
“You’ll notice from my transcript that I was captain
of my archery team, which means I have leadership experience, and I would be
able to deliver messages to Republican leaders on the Hill without leaving the
White House lawn. I am also effective at data entry. Another unique skill,
which I included on my C.V., is data deletion, with a special emphasis on the
names and addresses of citizens of District 12 who are at risk of deportation.”—
Cora Frazier, “Shouts and Murmurs: Katniss Everdeen, White House Intern Application,” The New Yorker, Dec. 19 and 26, 2016 double issue
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
