Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over
Tonight I'll be back on TV with Tucker, live across America at 8pm Eastern, with a rerun at midnight Eastern/9pm Pacific for West Coast viewers. Hope you'll tune in! ~It's a lively start to the week - Election Day in Canada and the umpteenth do-or-die Brexit vote at Westminster. I was struck by the placard of the Remainer at right: "Put It To The People" - ie, let's have a second referendum. Of course, it's already been put to the people - and the people voted to leave. At which point the losing side took the people to court, whose modish Blairite pseudo-Americanized judges ruled that only Parliament could effect withdrawal from the European Union and so, rather than putting it to the people, it had to be put to the politicians. Hence the ... |

Steyn's Song of the WeekI'll Never Fall in Love Again
Ever since rock'n'roll came along and severed the connection between Broadway and the pop vernacular, showtunes have had a tougher time of it on the Hit Parade. But once in a while a theatre song will slip through and tickle the record buyers' fancy, and even more rarely it will get to Number One. And so it was in the United Kingdom exactly fifty years - October 1969 - when Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg's heavy-breathing "Je T'Aime ...Moi Non Plus" was knocked off the top spot by a bona fide musical-comedy number: What do you get when you fall in love? A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble I'll Never Fall in Love Again... The lady singing it was Bobbie Gentry. Here's a protean music video, in ... Topical TakeFrom Pierre to Pierrot
On the weekend before Election Day, Canadians are observing the hundredth birthday of the alleged Father of Our Country - Pierre Elliott Trudeau, born in Montreal on October 18th 1919. When the blackface dauphin ascended to the throne in 2015, many of us assumed the restoration would condemn us to live forever in the vast engulfing shadow of the Father of Trudeaupia. Yet the opposite has happened: The mammy singer has diminished his pappy ... Politics & Current AffairsThe Banana Vote Song: Tallying Time

Mark's Week in ReviewA Se'nnight of Steyn, October 14-20
In case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark Mark at the MoviesDownton Abbey
A week ago I was having a conversation in the Fox News green room about the Downton Abbey movie with ...well, go on, guess: Tucker? Kilmeade? No, it was Tyrus. A hulking ex-professional wrestler who could crush the average effete English earl between his toes doesn't seem the most obvious fan of Downton's doings, and we disagreed on Lady Mary, for whom he has an intense loathing and to whose icy bitchery I've warmed up over the years. But it does suggest the broad appeal of Julian Fellowes' "franchise", and helps explain why, franchise-wise, Downton Abbey clobbered the latest Rambo at the box office: Stallone's swan song cost three times as much and its box-office take is less than half. To be sure, if you've never seen the earlier capers, ... Steyn's Song of the WeekThat Lucky Old Sun
