I adore her. I especially admire her ability to cut through any kind of PC touchy-feely bullshit surrounding the concept of feminism, and lay it out the way it is.

I don’t share her total dislike of Hillary, but I think 99% of the points she makes are exactly on target.

In other Camille-related news, she lavishes po-mo praise on a video posted online by a local group, formerly known as The Danbury Shakes, currently known as The Crystal Club (featuring your friends and neighbors of former and current local musical luminaries). Camo mistakenly refers to the Cali group who we realized had already beat us to the domain name, hence the moniker switch.
” Toronto’s National Post has been running a fascinating series by Lawrence Solomon on global warming dissidents, who don’t get much press in the U.S. My own philosophy about earth’s titanic, humanity-dwarfing operations is contained in a curious video I recently found on YouTube.com. Clips of volcanic eruptions and magma flows are set to the abstract “psychedelic” music of a California rock group, the Danbury Shakes. This eerie fusion of lurid natural images with a distorted, clashing soundscape is richly evocative of a 1960s vision that has been lost. The ’60s revolution, as I’ve argued elsewhere, was about much more than politics. Fanaticism about global warming reduces the eternal terrors of nature to a banal political melodrama.”
