primroseburrowsTo all my Canadian friends:
Today I'm counting my blessings in celebration with you instead of observing the Holiday That Must Not Be Named (you know, the C-word. Eesh).
Besides, your Thanksgiving date makes more sense than ours. The harvest has been loong gone by the fourth Thursday in November(not that I won't be scarfing down Mother's mashed potatoes when the time comes).
What cheer, Canada!

Read the Redneck Manifesto.

My point is, racism continues to be construct of The White Guys in charge so that they may continue their economic slavery of all working class people.
But that's a whole 'nother story, isn't it?

Fat people and poor white folks (which are usually the same people) are the only societal subset that it's OK to ridicule these days. Jim Goad is an interesting character, for sure, but this is an interesting book.
