Walt Garlington at Confiteri writes a thoughtful and very interesting column that is far enough outside the blogosphere mainstream to be worthy of mention for that reason alone. But there are many others, as the name should suggest. Plus, he is clearly in touch with vital concepts of interest to any southron partisan.
I love his stock closing as well:
Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to the Union!
