Non-ordinary Joe

Joe Bageant writes in Dissident Voice about what it's like to be Poor, White and Pissed. A long piece but well worth reading. Writing from the belly of the beast--that is, Virginia--Joe follows in the line of "what liberals don't understand about red-state America" but with humor, clarity and compassion. Personally, it was the line about spending your life "yanking guts out through a chicken's ass" that did it for me. Lordee I reckon!
