[lbo-talk] NASCAR romances

[B.]

Interesting to see an exchange between someone in the
clutches of a kind of humorless holier-than-thou
populism (defending NASCAR Romance books because
you're elitist if you think they're culturally funny
-- the working class likes such stuff, so don't make
fun of it, same goes for truck nuts
[http://www.truck-nuts.com/index.html] or No Fear
truck window stickers, or the SkyMall catalog, too, or
whtever "the working class" happens to like at any
given moment good or bad) -- and humorless left-wing
Crankshaft-ism.
