• Rush Limbaugh is a lame professional swine, and he makes a good living at it. He is like a hired geek in some traveling backwoods carnival - the freaks who bite the heads off chickens - but Limbaugh is a modernized geek who thinks he can bite the heads off of people.

• The Catholic novelist in the South will see many distorted images of Christ, but he will certainly feel that a distorted image of Christ is better than no image at all. I think he will feel a good deal more kinship with backwoods prophets and shouting fundamentalists than he will with those politer elements for whom the supernatural is an embarrassment and for whom religion has become a department of sociology or culture or personality development.

  Flannery O'Connor

• Why are we seeing George Bush on TV every two hours for nine or ten days at a time, like some kind of mutated Mr. Rogers clone? Something is dangerously wrong in any country where a monumentally-failed backwoods politician can scare our national TV networks so totally that they will give him anything he wants.

• Unfortunately, I saw a side of humanity I wish I'd remained blissfully ignorant of, including one driver who threw a bottle at me while I was walking my baby to the doctor on the side of the road and yelled out insults. Nurses who made nasty comments about how I should get a job (I was working two of them, in addition to being a published author). It wasn't that I didn't have a job and wasn't working. The jobs in backwoods Mississippi didn't pay enough to cover living expenses.

Las conversaciones sobre la imposibilidad práctica de la existencia de Dios y la irracionalidad basada en la ciencia de una vida después de la muerte se deslizaron sin problemas hacia la xenofobia por la inmigración musulmana o la práctica del velo. Los Nuevos Ateos se convirtieron en los nuevos islamófobos, y sus invectivas contra los musulmanes se asemejaban más a las divagaciones alborotadas e incultas de racistas de pueblo que a valoraciones basadas en el intelecto, la racionalidad y la razón. "El islam, más que ninguna otra religión que haya concebido el ser humano, tiene todas las características de un culto a la muerte.

De hecho, estoy coproduciendo [Backwoods] con mi guitarrista desde hace 20 años, Kent Wells. Hacemos una buena combinación... Creo que vamos a tener un disco realmente bueno.
