  1. Paglia – Also the Obamacare: of course, we need health care reform in this country. What a mess! Everyone agrees about that. But the Obamacare is, to me, a Stalinist intrusion — okay? — into American culture.

    Her words, and I can’t find anything in this statement to disagree.

  2. “I almost intersected with Camille yesterday.”

    That’s a scary thought! (bsshhh!)

    Does your wife know? (ba-doom boom!)

    Is what you describe legal in California? (swishh!)

  3. Paglia is always interesting even in the fairly large number of situations when I don’t agree with her; she is generally intellectually honest in a way that few people on the left are anymore (e.g., check out her defense of abortion rights). Very interesting attack on Hillary and Samantha Power, although Camille has been anti-Hillary since before Slick Willie got elected (she considers Hillary to be an enabler of the worst kind, and I totally agree with her on that one).

    1. Wow, you’re right. Never heard of this person before, but she appears to be not a total self-parody. Quite a rarity.

  4. Anybody can fall for a con man, but there was plenty of information to give the game away before 2008. The problem is how did we end up with McCain? That’s the problem that needs fixing.

    1. I guess it is politically incorrect to believe that intelligence is inherited, but as Meghan McCain is the offspring of one Captain John McCain, USN, Ret., that may suggest that the good Senator is maybe not the smartest person in public life.

      But . . .

      I am of the opinion that the Senator has the greatest depth of life experience of anyone in public life today. On one hand, had he been President, maybe he would have taken the fall for the mess we are in today and damaged the Republican brand. Maybe we wouldn’t have gotten the 2010 Republican sweep. But he had to have done a better job than what we have today.
