I've always enjoyed reading St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan. His most recent column is a good example of why. Anger is all around, except among those who have it tough
He is decidedly liberal, but not a dyed in the wool ideologue or much of a partisan. If he was he wouldn't write things like:
No, the odd thing is the anger seems to be coming from people who are doing just fine. Politics is the source of some of the anger. I know a number of Democrats who aren't just disappointed in the results of the recent election. They're angry. What's to be angry about? More people voted for the other guy.
McClellan seems to be a member of the last cadre of old style "newspapermen" whose roots are more blue collar and less Ivy League. Enjoy them while you can. Their like will probably not be returning.
