This is kind of funny. James Lileks, a harmless, affable bumpkin known for a near-creepy obsession with scanning kitsch (teehee, those were the days, whatever) takes yet another drag-queen-on-poppers free-association through an article he doesn’t understand.
Sniggering like a demented janitor paging through a stroke mag found in the trash, James burbles along the Cracker Home Companion checklist, finding, big surprise, all critical observation not previously imagined under his unfortunate hairline (especially by a foreigner!) can be repurposed into prefab nod-alongs for an ocean of idiots nodding right along, lapping up the know-nothing rhetoric and girlish titters like sweet rice pap.
What an idiotarian.
