ever since i stumbled across his essays on coldtype i have been a loyal joe bageant promoter. what first caught my attention, aside his hillbilly humor and general common sensibility, is that he hails from the same forgotten asshole of the shenandoah valley as me, winchester veerr-ginn-yah. big ups 540. jeah.
if you don’t know who joe bageant is than you must become acquainted with the great redneck hope. i would suggest ‘Walking at the Doomsday Ball: Capitalism is dead, but we still dance with the corpse’ or “Let’s Drink to the Slobbering Classes : A sordid tale of work release, hyenas and liberal weakness”. if you’re down with a whole damn book of him, my all time favorite: “Deer Hunting with Jesus, Dispatches from America’s Class War”.
joe’s blog announced the following documentary: which sounds inspiring:
“The Kingdom of Survival” circles through themes of utopianism, globalized capitalism, anarchism, intellectual and spiritual self-defense, religion and art in an investigation of physical and psychological survival strategies practiced by groups and individuals in a conflict-ridden and confused post-modern world.
new release this fall, also: “Rainbow Pie: A Redneck Memoir”.
damn, his titles are great. and i promise, i’ve only walked past his house hoping to meet him a handful of times. anyway, i think he moved. goddamn belize. sigh.

The Selfish Gene By Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins is a Zoologist, and one of the greatest voices for evolutionary theory. In his books The Blind Watch Maker, River out of Eden, and Climbing Mount Improbable he argues beautifully, and eloquently for the truth of evolution. He (along with the late Stephen Jay Gould) has helped to bring understanding of evolution, and natural selection, to the common man.
