The hidden forces around Columbia are readying themselves for the arrival of that mistress of madness Ann Coulter on Monday.  But oh, twist!  Conversio Virium, the BDSM campus group known for its sex toy demos, will be hosting author Kate Bornstein starting sixty minutes after the Coulter debacle.  She’ll be talking about when “the way you express yourself makes other people queasy.” Quite the back-to-back billing.

That touchy-feely liberal “victimization” might raise Coulter’s hackles a little bit.  The last time she sparred with Conversio Virium was two and a half years ago, when Fox News invited Coulter to comment on a report that Columbia has a lot of sex. A lot of kinky sex. Coulter told Fox, “[S]omeone who needs to join a club at college to find a way to have sex, probably not your lookers…probably something a little wrong about them.”

It’s so on. Bags and signs are forbidden at the Coulter event, but students do have a history of creative protest.
