Every time I see Paglia in Salon, I always hope that it's the last time.
Please note that I said "see", not "read". Salon, if you feel you HAVE to publish an unreadable, self-congratulatory pseudo-intellectual, couldn't you at least find one who was marginally interesting? Come on! It can't be that hard. Slate has Hitchens, and at least his Mother Teresa attacks are amusing.
Watching Paglia desperately try to overcome an obvious lack of ability by reflexive contrarianism was never really entertaining, you know. And her fifteen minutes have been over for a long time.
Hey! I remember reading a while ago that Slate LOVES contrarian articles. Why not trade Paglia for Hitchens? You'd probably have to sweeten the pot with a few thousand dollars, but it would be worth it.
Then break Hitchens' keyboard, or at least put him on a full-time Mother Teresa beat, and everyone will be happy!
