As for insulting deplorables, a friend was getting married in Tennessee, and looking over his marriage license application, what caught my attention was a section asking about the relationship to the fiance. There were three boxes to check. One for second cousin and more distant. One for first cousins, and one for closer than first cousins. That didn't take much imagination.

I can tell you, based on knowledge of former in-laws, that the Foxworthy you-might-be-a-redneck genre isn't fanciful and it isn't fringe or just found on Jerry Springer. There's a very large contingent of rednecks out there who are proud to be. Go figure, and while counting fingers, contemplate your dream-trailer. The one with genuine aluminum skirting.

It has that lived-in look, because I broke it in for you.
