The Dukes of Hazzard as Christ figures
February 12, 2008 – 10:24 pm by JohnI can’t believe I’ve just now gotten around to checking out Roderick T. Long’s blag, Austro-Athenian Empire. It is quite insightful and entertaining. I first heard of Dr. Long, I think, from his essay about the anarchic Icelandic Free State at LRC. Don’t miss the suggested readings he lists at the end of the column; I’m going to have to investigate those in more depth in the near future.
The topic at hand, however, is equally entertaining but in a much more humorous way. While I was browsing his humor category I came across this: The Dukes of Hazzard as an allegory for Jesus Christ. Read for yourself.
UPDATE: Uh, so apparently Dr. Long’s trackback/pingback thing works kinda like ours does (annoyingly) and posts pingbacks in the comments section, or else his comments don’t require his approval, because an excerpt from this blag post appears as a comment to his post that I linked to. I hate that because it looks so much like blag prostitution, or something. Or “pimping out,” as David Shuster might harmlessly and inoffensively call it… I didn’t intend or try to do that, and didn’t insert a trackback URL because his blag doesn’t have them.
