This is where I say L. told you so.

Volume 5.

The founder of Wikipedia makes an utterly surreal decision and decides to date Rachel Marsden for a couple weeks. OK. So it doesn’t work out. OK. So our Canadian Press syndicates the article about how she is selling his sweaters, vindictively? Nasty, private, faux-incriminating IMs are somehow leaked to the most salacious gossip site in Silicon Valley? … Read more

“No one stamps on a burning bag of shit these days”. In this case, not true. Jimmy Wales sure did.

*sigh*

As to the substance of this matter, two things.

First, John Ralston Saul is a huge chump.

As to 19th-cent. Europeans’ alleged inability to survive in a “harsh and unforgiving climate” exactly analogous to the climate of, um, Europe: oh, come on. Franklin’s disappearance and death were recorded, you know, written down in history, for others to learn from; the analogous misadventures of thousands of low-tech indigenes were not. Be honest: this kept their cultures static. Astounding as the tribes were, they weren’t geniuses, merely at home. As all Canadians now are, including Matthew Coon Come — but disincluding this nasty broad Marsden.

“PERHAPS IT IS NOW, FINALLY TIME TO PITY RACHEL MARSDEN.

Kidding!! I give you Volume Four of The Rachel Marsden Saga, aka Bitch’s Progress:

http://www.thestar.com/News/Ontario/article/287642

It’s only Volume Four if you count by humiliated men. But the Saga is long, and could be subdivided in other ways. Only two of the four men — the journalist and the cop — actually romped with the harpy, for example (the coach and the professor passed).

And Marsden’s 400 affectionate phone calls to the female ‘harassment officer’ who assisted her in the SFU debacle might require another chapter, or just an ironic footnote.

You could also measure out Rachel’s days in aborted media gigs. This would make for a trilogy of firings, again depending how you count: shitcanned from the National Post, frogmarched outta Fox News, and now unperson’d by the Toronto Sun.

It’s an epic of waste and viciousness, no matter how you cut it. And this creature’s repeated resurrections don’t speak well of our era. The Marsden Saga continues, in part, because our public institutions provide irresistible opportunities to opportunists like her.

That is to say, every judicial and sub-judicial body that ever had the misfortune to encounter Rachel Marsden should have identified her hoaxes and scams at hearing stage. And then *turfed* the nutty broad. But no bureaucracy yet has been able to handle this one determined psycho.

Why not? I’m starting to think, maybe because they can’t. Which would be bad news for the whole proposition that government can make our lives better. How many more Rachel Marsdens must be out there, milking every docile helping-hand agency for every drop, devouring resources and ruining lives, then moving on?

Wotta mess. Mind you, I bet she’d be excellent deranged company; I have enjoyed a few women like her, while scrupulously not engaging in any sort of commerce with ‘em. (Dude! That’d be like marrying Liz Phair!) You know something else funny about Rachel Marsden, though? She loves little baby animals. Loves’em! Hates the seal hunt! That’s going in the appendix, for sure.

Cheers,
L.
