Paglia is a self important tool. She always has been. She always will be. There is no need to pay any attention to her. That is all she wants. She is an internet troll that people keep feeding for no appreciable reason.

Posted by merry]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:09:57 -0800 The Stranger Posted by Tiktok]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:46:29 -0800 The Stranger This paled in the Bush years, when we were treated to a pillow-handed mental defective who couldn't play Ski-ball unaided and had fucked up every single endeavor he'd attempted; a big slow pitch over home plate, and Paglia descended into bizarre riffs on his flight suit. Bush was the biggest, fattest target ever for those wanting to take intellectual laziness to task, and Paglia didn't even swing and whiff, she declined to swing, and not out of declining a target unworthy of her bat.
And now Palin? Fucking Palin? Fuck having to be a teacher, anyone who's been thru high school's seen stoner/too-cool classmates give rambling non-sequitur answers like that, and we knew why then, and we know why now. If I'd compared them, in one of my many creative writing projects, to a be-bop saxophonist, I'd have better couched that in sarcastiquotes, or included a laugh track.
Yeah, the Third World, their big problem? Not enough pro-life women. I can trace a clear line between those places with strong stances against birth control and abortion, and places with booming economies, and where, mirable dictu, womens' lots are just fucking ducky.

If the only one(s?) to read it are Slog posters, isn't that like having the scrap seen by a handful of crayfish in the murk?

I think this column would be one very sober Camille Paglia drinking game.

So much for Camille's intellectual honesty. :/ In the end she's just another eccentric blogger.

Hmmm.

You're probably right.

And be-bop, contrary to Paglia's belief, is hard. It is not simply a consequence of not being able to play a straight melody. Which she would know if she bothered to learn anything about it. But she didn't, because then she would be forced to abandon her oh-so-clever analogy for Palin's nongrammatical speech. Which brings us back to "willful ignorance."

Palin promotes feminsim like blacks shooting one another
promotes black empowerment

Nader's outside in his Covair Camille, and he's ready to take you for your big date.

My favorite part: "There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes." She's alive? Is that a standard? And babbles rhythmically?

Sorry, you're not off the hook for buying "Sexual Personae". She's always been kway-zee. She's the Ann Coulter of academia.

Paglia bears a distinct resemblence here to that spewing ass picture that Mr. Poe et al posted on Erica's bicycle blog last night.
