I actively avoid Divine's columns at all simply because I know they'll be
dripping with vitriol, entirely lacking in any journalistic merit and will
just upset me.

The only thing that would get me even remotely interested in Devine is if I
was alerted to a threat that she might be threatening to cross breed with
Andrew Bolt, in which case drastic action would be required.
