Preserving Paglia
Please keep Camille Paglia. Her spice is one of the elements that attracted me to Salon, and I've missed her (Tom Tomorrow can't take up all that slack, and Garrison Keillor, to risk a mixed metaphor, is weak medicine). She is like the clowns serving to break up the melodrama of circus.
I take the opposite side from her in the matter of climate change, but I would hate for storm-trooping political correctionists to drive her away from your pages.
Her polymathic presumptiveness may alienate some, but I can dismiss it and just luxuriate in her directness and fluency, sometimes disagreeing or simply befuddled.
