Vote: | Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty - as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it. |

Vote: | Chinks in America's egalitarian armor are not hard to find. Democracy is the fig leaf of elitism. |

Vote: | During the feminist seventies men were caught between a rock and a hard-on; in the fathering eighties they are caught between good hugs and bad hugs. |

Vote: | Now the only thing I miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. Next to the first one in the morning, it's the best one of all. It tasted so good that even if I had been frigid I would have pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it. |

Vote: | People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error. |

Vote: | Self-help books are making life downright unsafe. Women desperate to catch a man practice all the ploys recommended by these authors. Bump into him, trip over him, knock him down, spill something on him, scald him, but meet him. |

Vote: | Those colorful denizens of male despair, the Bowery bum and the rail-riding hobo, have been replaced by the bag lady and the welfare mother. Women have even taken over Skid Row. |

Vote: | Time has lost all meaning in that nightmare alley of the Western world known as the American mind. We wallow in nostalgia but manage to get it all wrong. True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories... but American-style nostalgia is about as ephemeral as copyrighted dTja vu. |

Biography
|
Florence King (born 1936) is an American writer, essayist and columnist. While her early writings focused on the American South and those who live there, much of King's later work has been published in the conservative publication National Review. She supports conservatism, but not the fundamentalist political movement. Though grateful for her fan base, she considers herself a misanthrope.
King, who now lives in Seattle, Washington, is native of Washington, D.C. She received her B.A. from American University in Washington D.C. She also attended the University of Mississippi, as a post- graduate student. The majority of King’s works under her own name have been non-fiction essays. She has also written Barbarian Princess under the pseudonym of Laura Buchanan. King has also admitted to having written numerous pornographic stories and paperback books and erotica under various psudonyms. Her book, Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady was a semi-autobiographical work, focusing on her grandmother and the influence she had on King's life.
