If you still haven't read Jane Smiley's article on Slate, you seriously should check it out. Of all the post-election discourses, I found Smiley's article to be the most daring, and also the most honest. I didn't think what she wrote about red-staters was true when I first read it, although I can see where she's coming from. (I grew up in a tiny town approximately 25 minutes away from Stockwell Day's riding.)
Now, I still don't believe things she wrote to be true, the conviction with which I disbelieve her is beginnning to wade. Just look at this, this, this, and hundreds more like them here.
I am just going to assume that those crazy stuffs were written by thirteen year olds. Otherwise, it would be just too depressing.
