it's pretty much over.

Thank you, Patricia Cohen and The New York Times. Finally, some sense in all of it. Not to say it's a complete reversal of myths, but I think it might finally be time to patch over the fault line between the North and South:

"When you look at suburbs and middle class, then you start getting a national story. ... White suburbs outside Charlotte are reacting the same as white suburbs outside Los Angeles or New Jersey."

So shut up about it, Hollywood. And all the people who have made snide comments to me here, thinking they know things they don't.

I recommend reading all of it.
