When the Edge of the Map Moves Inward
Programming note: Today, Thursday, Mark will be on The Geoff Currier Show at 680 CJOB in Winnipeg live at midday Central Time (you can listen to the show live here). ~On Wednesday President Trump announced that Vice-President Pence would be in charge of the US government response to the new coronavirus, which in nothing flat has spread to fifty countries on every continent except Antarctica. That rapid dispersal is, to put it at its mildest, a direct consequence of the bizarre decision by America and its allies to enable China to become the manufacturing plant for the entire planet. Like so much else of what plagues us, it is what happens when hyper-rational homo economicus makes judgments divorced entirely from broader considerations. We ... |

Politics & Current AffairsThe Biggest Loser(s)
Henry Kissinger's famous line on the Iran/Iraq war was that it's a shame they can't both lose. In Tuesday night's primary debate they somehow contrived for everyone to lose, including both the Democrat Party and the media. It reached its peak of perfection early on when all seven candidates began shrieking over each other and, as with some hideous atonal aleatoric modernist cacophonous symphony, its very unlistenability seemed an impressive feat of organization. Five insipid moderators sat there like dowagers declining to catch the eye of the shrieking nutter on the Piccadilly Line as Elizabeth Warren ate up all the opening airtime with charges that Michael Bloomberg would make you kill your babies (she's not concerned about the ...

A Clubman's NotesThe Only Routes for Madmen
Here's Part Five of my serialization of The Power-House, John Buchan's classic thriller from the long and winding road to war in August 1914. Marc Swerdloff, a First Day Founding Member of The Mark Steyn Club from Florida, found last night's episode a little unnerving: "Civilization hangs by a slender thread in the tense after dinner talk of a serpentine host masterly read by our very own Mark Steyn. Enough to chill our protagonist and eavesdropping selves down to the marrow. On the eve of WW I and presaging Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Castro et. al., it underscores how evil is never vanquished! It will be tough to sleep after this episode..." A Clubman's NotesKnout So Queer as Folk
