I saw this article by way of Wonkette. Apparently there is a thing where guys buy trucks and tune them badly for the purpose of making huge clouds of soot come out of their exhaust pipes, the better to piss off liberals.
I guess I'm used to rightwingers being a-holes, but I am more than ready to move on from the meme that "manhood" equates to being immature, uneducated, and unnecessarily aggressive. In real life these qualities are not necessary features of any class of people, but if we must associate them they are closest to the markers of painful and ugly adolescence. That some people can't get all the way through adolescence to the other side is tragic, but we should do the opposite of suggesting that they show any special degree of "manhood."
