I used to be a huge fan of Southey, and I share absolutely nothing with the redneck morons who troll her articles.

But seriously, she stopped being funny a long time ago. My theory in cases such as this is that fame starts to overtake talent, and hard work. Best to quit, adopt a pseudonym and see if you can break into the business again on talent alone. On the basis of the past year's output at least, Southey wouldn't stand a chance. 

I admit I became even more disaffected when I learned quite recently - I don't follow these things - that Southey is a true champagne socialist, living high on alimony from some sort of doofus movie star or something. Ugh.
