From A Red State Dissident

Dennis Perrin, who has been a valuable although biased (a bias I happen to agree with) source of information for me on the war in Lebanon, is an eloquent and informed voice of the left in the United States while being, as the title of his weblog says, a "red state son". The red state in his case is Michigan, and in his latest posting he gives readers a disturbing look at his part of what has been called "Middle America". His piece can be found here. His previous posting includes from YouTube a David Bowie/Trent Reznor music video, whose song title he says, "sums up my current state of mind". Watch and see if you agree.
