Kathy Shaidle started blogging in 2000, at the pioneering web site RelapsedCatholic.com.

She started FiveFeetofFury.com in 2007, as a new home for her irreverent rants.

A low level "neither east nor west" anarcho-peacenik during the Reagan/Mulroney era, a series of seemingly trivial incidents, culminating in one really, really big one, turned her into the chick behind this site.

Oh, and truth be told, she's only 4'11".

Kathy Shaidle has written for major magazines and daily papers in Canada and the US, as well as online venues like BeliefNet.com and Spectator.org.
