A celebration of writer Joe Bageant (1946-2011). He wrote brilliantly, profanely, & with humor on the corporate plundering of America, on the connivance of our politicians, & on a despised minority group: poor whites ("rednecks"). He was born and raised one himself. He's best known for his best-selling book, Deer Hunting With Jesus (2008).
This installment features readings from 2 of Bageant's essays, a nice obituary in a style much like Joe's, and selections from recorded interviews.
