I admit that I have become addicted to reading to the absurd right-wing blog “Shelley the Republican“. Her almost daily rants have an almost crack-like addictive quality which on occasion cause me to drool and gibber in a combination of horror and delight. Never have fascination and revulsion been so closely linked in my mind.
It’s taken a great deal of courage to come out and admit my obsession with this tawdry site, dear readers, and I do hope that you will not think less of me now that you know that I am one of the hapless fools who fan Shelley’s flames propelling her to ever greater depths of truly awful writing - it does seem that there is no end to her stupidity?
Fortunately, there are enough Shelley-watchers to form a meagre self-help group. It seems as if my fellow bloggers have noticed this exemplar of conservative Christianity and are beginning to write perplexed, confused words about her site: For starters, Shelley now has an “Anti-Blog”, a site called “Shelley The Republican Uncovered” written by an anonymous person of uncertain motives who calls himself “The Spur”.
The other day, I also noticed what has to be the most insightful comment ever about STR.com - I’m not sure I agree with Evil Bender’s deconstruction of the site - I think he is crediting the authors with far too much intelligence.
Finally, when all else fails to stimulate, Technorati and Wikipedia always come through by providing the freshest STR related links. However did we do without this essential service?
