Time Basement-Dweller of the Year
On Monday Mark returned to the Golden EIB Microphone for another three hours of substitute-host-level Excellence in Broadcasting on The Rush Limbaugh Show. In the course of the programme the various members of the Electoral College met to vote for Biden as president - while, in certain states, an alternative slate of electors met to maintain Trump in office. Aside from all that, we also addressed Time magazine's absurd choice for Man of the Year, the real Man of the Year (Chairman Xi) and his many triumphs, and the curious timing of both the Hunter Biden revelations and the sudden concern about Senator Feinstein's "cognitive decline". All that plus a detour into Australian legal drama. Click below to listen: As to that Mark Steyn Cruise Mr ... |

Meanwhile, I'll do my best to keep the Attila the Hun chair warm, and hope you'll want to dial us up either via the iHeart Radio app or on one of over 600 stations across the ... Steyn's Song of the WeekDo You Hear What I Hear?
Some years ago, the late Mort Shuman, a marvelous composer and one of the first generation of rock'n'roll songwriters, took me to lunch. Mort had written "Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love?" and "Can't Get Used To Losing You" and a bunch of stuff for Elvis, including "Mess O' Blues", "Suspicion" and "Viva Las Vegas". But, like most successful music biz types, he wanted to talk about what he was doing next. So, after the usual pleasantries, he slid across the table a script bearing the title Save The Last Dance For Me - after his Number One hit for the Drifters. "It's a musical," he said, "about the Cuban missile crisis." Now I generally subscribe to Tim Rice's rule - that, if somebody says wow, what a great idea for a musical, it almost ...
