The framing of conservative Southerners is just so predictable it is numbing. Grit-eating, tree-killing, truck-driving, uneducated, mouth-breathing, knuckle draggers. Are you talking about the same Sugarland article, the one about the "red" family? I didn't see anything about grits in there. The story mentioned trees, how the Sugarland streets were lined with them. The most uncomplementary thing I could find in that article was that the family seemed kinda insular and square. And those are not even necessarily insults. At least not in the "red" part of the country world. That article sure raised some hackles...

The framing of conservative Southerners is just so predictable it is numbing. Grit-eating, tree-killing, truck-driving, uneducated, mouth-breathing, knuckle draggers. Maybe in Mississippi... There has been historically more per capita intellectual horsepower in Oxford and Greenville, Mississippi, than there is in New York and Boston, especially as it relates to journalism, law, and literature, i.e., the written word. ouraaa.com shs.starkville.k12.ms.us reportingcivilrights.org There has been more historically more musical talent per capita emanating from Clarkdsdale, Mississippi, than there has been in the entire nation, classical music excluded. I'm not even mentioning New Orleans since Clarksdale skews the per capita curve so radically. Add New Orleans to the mix, and the curve just doesn't fit in the graph. Just don't aske me to prove it statistically.vbg C2@Ahtaikmahgritswidalilbutter,ma'am,thankyew.com
