I really tried.
Salon, I really tried to give Paglia a chance. I did.
She's pretty useless. And you've upped my membership costs again. Why? To pay her by the word for the inanity that comes out of her column? Glenn Greenwald has twice the insight in half the space. I noticed, for a supposed "libertarian" and "non-conformist" she sure spent alot of time bashing big-L Liberals in her most recent column. Ohhh..big bad scary liberals.
No mention, however, of the Right's semi-implosion. No mention of the vitriol coming from their side. But it's Democrats' hatred of Bush that'll destroy our party? Maybe we hate Bush because we have a good reason to: IE that he's the worst President in modern history.
A simple refutation of Global Warming based on solar winds? How much evidence is required for Ms. Paglia to accept scientific fact? At this point, she'd question Newton's first law of motion if it wasn't five hundred years old.
I won't even get into the unabashed biasedness of this so called "independent". Taking letters from readers, and all of them happened to represent conservative viewpoints? ALL your readers just happened to believe only in the right's view on all of those things? EVEN THE GUY FROM AUSTRAILIA?
Please Salon, fill this space with something useful.
