[Ads-l] dime-store novel

[Jonathan Lighter]

I mentioned this rationalization of "dime novel" back in 2005 and again in
2007. I heard it more than once from a student in 1992.

Joshua Green, CNN Political Analyst, has just characterized the current WH
intrigue as "something in a dime-store novel."

With the eclipse of dime-stores, however, the idea will have to be
rationalized again.
