Who exactly was he talking about in that quote?

Yes, it applied to the morg. But it also applies to any fundie xian church, and to the right-wing political movement that actively campaigns against science.

We have a LOT of anti-intellectual morons thinking they have "The Truth" nowadays.

Don't know who he was referring to. It fits a few situations. (n/t)

It's from his book. "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary."

Found it.

Apparently, it's an owl speaking of his siblings.

Huh. I've always liked him, but never read any of his books.

I'll have to pick up one or two.

Link to a monologue Sedaris did on Letterman.

He speaks of a "fashion accessory" which, it occurs to me, might be useful for sacrament meeting.
