Hillary without tears
Why it's time to close the book on the Clintons -- and herald the Obamas! Plus: Iran war hawks, Russian drag queens and the genius of Zeppelin.
By Camille Paglia [2008-01-10]

  • Ignorance (of your existence.)

    This Hillary article was my first encounter with you. [I have lived in a small, but warm, cave in San Diego for 25+ years.)

    I did some quick online research. You're a freakin genius...one who can write like a dumb-ass artist.

    I'm sure we disagree mightly about the content, but I can sense your connection to Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Plath, Rimbaud and the swarm of nutcase, but language-centered, writers whom I worship.

    You are a Wonder-With-Words; what those words say is much less important to me--a profound non-intellectual--than how they make me feel.

    I bow before your command and love of Language, and intend to read lots of your stuff.

    Irrespective of the meaning of what he says/writes, Heidegger's writing (as well as some few others) brings tears to my eyes and deep breathes to my lungs, much like Beethoven's work does; Their achievements make me proud to be a human being....Prof. Bloom, in my humble, uneducated opinion has never reached thoses heights.

    You, gay-babe, maybe have.

    Please keep writing. I will make it my business to keep reading.
