Going through the spaceship's library, as the craft hurtles ever faster into the unknown, I find a book by trendy author Sarah Vowell. Listed with the bio info on the dust cover is this phrase: "She is a McSweeney's person. . . ."
Is this a coded statement-- the way that brainwashed members of the Cult recognize one another?

That's odd. I thought Vowell was MUCH better known for her recurring "This American Life" presence. TAL is one of the most popular programs on public radio - I'm positive most of its listeners don't give a shit about McSweeney's. TAL may be a bit precious sometimes (a lot of "McSweeney's people" get more than their share of air), but it has featured "zeen" hero Dishwasher Pete.
