Christ in Confederate Grey
Rush out and purchase the December issue of Harper's, for Jeff Sharlet's latest: "Through a Glass Darkly: How the Christian Right Is Reimagining U.S. History."
It's not online yet so I can't excerpt it, but you can read Sharlet's latest other stuff at the fascinating website he edits, The Revealer.
Because I failed to read the Revealer last week, I missed Sharlet at the KGB Bar Radio Hour last Thursday,
and instead ended up at the KGB Bar Friday, where I saw a bad poetry reading.

Because I failed to read the Revealer last week, I missed Sharlet at the KGB Bar Radio Hour last Thursday,
with special guests 70s porn star Jamie Gillis, two Houdini biographers, me -- and surprise guest Steve Earle, one of my musical heroes and of special interest to Revealer readers for his 2002 song, "John Walker Blues." How did I earn a spot in such company? By not knowing that Ted Haggard was gay. But Steve Earle's brother, who works at the Colorado Springs airport, did.
