Which Sedaris Do We Prefer?
Two Sedarises enter the Google Trends Thunderdome. Only one Sedaris leaves.
Amy: Bent and affable advice columnist for Believer. Primary obsession of David Letterman. Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy, both the TV show and the surprisingly lackluster movie of the same name.
David: Bent and affable author, NPR radio personality and Francophile. Primary obsession of his husband. Stellar monologist. Has not starred in a lackluster movie.

Ahem.
