The times, they are a' changin'

There's a great rant at SF Gate today. You really should read this one. It'll make you laugh. It's about how progressive change is finally happening.

Here's an excerpt:

And of course, the South, despite flickers of progress in various college towns, remains as racist, anti-smarts, and gun-lovingly homophobic as ever. The good news? This used to be a problem. The South used to have enormous influence on culture and politics, acting as the genteel, racist heart of “real” America. But as the new rainbow constituency takes hold and a calm, intellectual black man enters his second term as president, that influence is waning; the South is now more isolated, emasculated, increasingly meaningless in the new America dialogue. This much we know: The South will not rise again. Ever. Praise.

Mark Morford's post, "Godless, liberal sickos win again" is a great read. Seriously, read the whole thing. You'll be happy you did.
