Camille Paglia is one of the best writers out there. No matter what your politics are she's almost certain to outrage you at least a few times every column.

Thank you so much for introducing me to Camille Paglia.
I was wondering why it was that her feminist position seemed so reasonable to me, particularly because I was under the impression that Salon was for liberals. Then she mentioned that she is a libertarian feminist. I was quite tickled. Do we agree on everything? No. But I could imagine any disagreements that we would have would be far more civil and rational than disagreements I have had with liberal feminists. I quite unfortunately know of no feminists on the right...for now. I suspect Sarah Palin may cause them to step out of the shadows and into the light.
Thanks again!!!
BTW that last posting was by me.
See what happens when I get excited. I literally forget myself.

If you like Paglia you should also consider Florence King. Where Paglia is an academic, King is more of a cranky curmugeon. She's much older than Paglia. She was retired for a while after writing a regular column for National Review for many years. Recently she's been back, writing a column called The Bent Pin - they may be available via the author archives on nationalreview.com. If not, her books of collected columns are great for short sharp pieces. I keep meaning to get her book Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady - which is what brought her to national attention.
