Just a reminder: We are told "The South lost the Civil War", but the truth is the <i>white</i> south lost the Civil War. The south is not populated solely by (deranged) white folks. This always seems to be forgotten. The south is a fertile place for the imagination, but the truth is that much of the south will become "majority minority" over the next generation. I have little hope most of the whites will see they are exploited (and they are), but expect more from the "persons of color" who will begin taking over a number of the states (sadly, Alabama and Mississippi will continue their ways).

The Free Market® is providing plenty of housing, food and automobiles for these Peach State Poors to live in, eat and drive to their jobs in. For the life of me I can't figure out what's missing.

I was led to believe that in Georgia, the war on welfare was conducted with axe handles.

Get a grip, man. Those living on capital gains, dividend and interest income see no problem with this situation.

So the moral of the story is if you keep beating people down long enough they will eventually stay down.

But, if they could get welfare money, Honey Boo Boo's family would not have to eat roadkill. Where's the comedy in that?

If these wingnut dipsticks ever do revolt, I’ve got dibs on giving Paul Ryan the first wedgie.

The entire south is pretty much fucked, if you ask me.

I guess the Devil juggled a few appointments in his Day Planner to stay down in Georgia.
