| | No popular writer in America since the early 90s has employed the KASS approach more genuinely, dramatically, effectively and charmingly than Paglia. It's been especially gratifying to see her apply it to the wrinkled, sagging, stale butt that is academe.
She has her many flaws, of course, and I'm not just talking about the obvious political ones. But they don't detract from her charm.

(P.S. To Daniel: For some reason I don't think you got my SOLOmail response. If not, then I agree with whay you said -- I've read all her books amd she does evoke that excitement similar to what was felt when reading Rand.)

Hey, fellas: there's something out there that electrocutes people on beaches, collapses buildings like cardboard, and drowns ships and villages. It's called nature. The next time the western horizon flames with crimson, remember that this is what Foucault never saw. Foucault was struck down by the elemental force he repressed and edited out of his system. Science, disdained by Foucaldians, is our only hope for controlling the retrovirus and marauding infections of AIDS. Science and society are our frail barriers against the turbulence of cruel, indifferent nature.
