More Palin

One on the "Bridge to Nowhere" and her record on it. Another, an article by Camille Paglia about Palin.

I find Camille Paglia fascinating. Obviously, I don't agree with her on a LOT of things. But, she's utterly fascinating to me. I had heard of her, but not really read anything of her, and was flipping through channels, and saw her being interviewed on CSPAN, or one of those "why the hell do I have this Public Broadcasting channel" channels (BookTV?). So, I stopped to listen to her. She's an atheist, who has respect for religion. She's a libertarian who considers herself a Democrat partisan. She's a lesbian, who writes glowing things about men. She's just independent. She mentions how she's stays independent in the above linked article. Guess what, she says to stay out of insular locales.

As an example of her positive writing on men is something I read on The Corner, by Andrew Stuttaford. He does say something like, "as with all things written by Paglia, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it contains a truth". Basically she wrote something along the lines of if women ran the world, we'd all still be living in grass huts.

On a side note, I also saw P.J. O'Rourke being interviewed on this Public broadcasting network. After I knew he was and before I bought Parliament of Whores.

I'm really NOT trying to make this a 2008 Presidential Campaign blog, but I know certain things will be said over and over again, so I might as well have a central location to have answers.
