Best of Both Worlds

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." --Abraham Lincoln, quoting Matthew 12:25

It's no secret that America has become a deeply divided country. The "red state/blue state" dichotomy impacts every aspect of modern life and political discourse, sometimes to the point of outright hostility.

Some people, however, act as a bridge between the two sides. mac_arthur_park is one of those people.

A quick glance at her profile tells you all you need to know: "low-rent kinky Martha Stewart wannabe," "the girl you waited for and the girl you dread loving," "unashamed...that my interests are evenly split between those of 80-year-old ladies and 15-year-old boys." And she lives every word of it.

Alicia is decidedly not what you would ever expect: a woman with a blue-state urbanite's open mind and a red-state ruralite's open heart. Big-city sensibilities and antebellum Southern charm.

The best of both worlds.
