Np: Rant of the Day

[Henry Musikar]

I wish that it really was only "Rich Rage" (sorry, Rich :-).  I hang in some
'po, good ole boy dives from time to time, and practically to a man they've
been sold a bill of goods that is against their actual self interest, and
they're angrier than the rich guys who, after all, are more than OK no
matter who does what, short of out and out revolution.

one of the troubling things about this white rage debate is it misses
the point--it should be called 'Rich Rage'

and the white liberal confessionary is embarrassing
