Because it's America that's becoming more like the South, says Graham, not the other way around. Wafting up from the Mason-Dixon line and spreading like kudzu, 'redneckery' has been absorbed from Bangor to Baha, he claims.

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty entertaining although it is oversimplified, probably to try to make it funnier.  As a transplanted Southerner, I found LOTS of things to chuckle over.  Something entertaining to read if you are not expecting a sociological treatise about the South. ]]></body>
