Michael Chabon Endorses Barack Obama
One of my favorite authors is Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon. If you haven't read "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," "Wonder Boys," or the recent "The Yiddish Policemen's Union," you should. Here he is delivering an eloquent endorsement of Barack Obama.
He also had this to say about Sarah Palin's oddly-named children:
"I was kind of excited when I thought Willow was a Buffy shout-out. Like, how cool, she named her kid after a Jewish lesbian witch! It was part of this weird, innocent spasm of credit-extending that I experienced on first seeing the Governor in action last Friday. But the moment was very short-lived, alas. I bet she doesn't even watch Buffy. The names are kind of awesome, in my opinion. But then I have a son named Ezekiel Napoleon Waldman Chabon."
