[Marxism] "Joe Six-Pack" and "Hockey Mom"

Pance asks if anyone really likes being called "Joe Six-Pack and Hockey Mom". 
Well, I'm neither, but my impression is that the two expressions are very 
different. "Hockey Mom," like "Soccer Mom," is definitely something people would 
call themselves. "Joe Six-Pack," on the other hand, is not, Pance's description 
of it as a "derogatory tone used by Mr. Burns on the Simpsons" sounds accurate 
to me.

But the Republicans have hoards of focus groups and marketing people, so if they 
think it's a smart thing for Palin to openly appeal to "Joe Six-Pack" (or even 
refer to herself as that), I may well be wrong.
