“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. <\/p>\nIt seems like, to me, a vagina\u00e2\u20ac\u201das a man\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwould be more desirable than a man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s anus. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just me. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just thinking: There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more there! She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m saying? But hey, sin: It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not logical, my man. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not logical.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
OK, well, whatever. Probably didn’t need to elaborate on the “vagina as a man” stuff (for some reason when I read that phrase, all I could think of was a vagina disguised as Fidel Castro or something – must be because of all that 1980s porn I used to run as a projectionist). Ignorant, redneck, bible-thumpin’ bullshit, yes. But – as many others have pointed out – when you have a show about a bunch of duck-murdering hillbillies, don’t be surprised when they act like duck-murdering hillbillies. Yeah, he sort of conflates homosexuality with bestiality, but to be fair he also conflates it with adultery (or at least promiscuity). <\/p>\n
And, hey, he may be white trash but at least he’s not racist.<\/p>\n
\nPhil On Growing Up in Pre-Civil-Rights-Era Louisiana<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m with the blacks, because we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re white trash. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going across the field…. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI tell you what: These doggone white people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnot a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

Yes’m, back in the olden days before all that civil rights nonsense, them black folks were just a-singin’ and a-laughin’ all the live-long day. And nary a one ever said a bad word about white folks, neither (at least, not when there were white folks around, ‘less they wanted to find themselves swingin’ from the old oak tree). <\/p>\n
I hate to disagree with ya though, Phil, but I’ve got some old-time records, and you know what? There were definitely some black folks singing the blues back then. <\/p>\n

For those of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere, winter arrives at 12:11 PM EST. As such, this is the shortest day of the year.
