Dr. James C. Cobb, prolific historian of the southern way who intimidates the hell out of us grad students when he saunters down our hallway with his cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans on, went jogging this morning only to be struck by a wayward car. So I plead with us all, let's drive better. No one should be injured during fitness hour. Dr. Cobb is fine, was up on his feet already this afternoon, but in honor of him and to counter the absurdity of his day, I urge you to read his blog. "Cobbloviate" has been running strong for years. Cobb's writing is a fine-toothed comb on southern culture, race, and American political life more generally. He calls himself an old man, but he's younger than my dad and hipper than most of us would ever attempt and/or claim to be.
