My given name is Keith Daniel Glover, but I’ve been known as Danny Glover most of my life. I write under the byline “K. Daniel Glover,” but somehow I still occasionally get the hate mail of the actor who shares my name. Read my blog post “A Boy Named Danny … Or Is It Keith” for the scoop on my many names. I’m a native of West Virginia (the redneck in me) who has been a journalist in the nation’s capital for nearly 20 years (that makes me “enlightened”). Although I work in the Washington area, I live outside the Beltway and, like all good rednecks, think inside the box. My plan was to work a couple of years inside the Beltway to add some meat to my resume, but I’ve been stuck here since 1991. Now I’m married with three children, and no one in the family but me gets that West Virginia is the better Virginia. The good news is that the longer I stay, the more material I’ll have for this blog — and my memoir. The views here are mine alone. Filed under: Rednecks and Spotlight Comments:

Greetings!
I live in the “other” Virginia, just about 30 miles south of Bluefield, but I have to agree with you about WV being the “better” Virginia. So much so, that when I remarried, I got me a McDowell County woman!
Charlie Daniels is right: What this world needs is a few more rednecks….

This is really bizarre: I search the web for a YouTube of Danny Glover (the actor) to hear his idiotic comments on the earthquake in Haiti. …but I get Danny Glover the “Enlightened Redneck”…really weird!
Anyway, greetings from a fellow “Enlightened Redneck” in Calif!
