On Thursday evening I kept my regular date with "Tucker Carlson Tonight", talking about, of course, the removal of John Brennan's security clearance. Brennan, a man psychologically unfit to be either CIA director or "former CIA director", is now the darling of the left - the people's spook, on whose behalf Senator Blumenthal is arguing that America's founders had cannily foreseen the need for a security clearance.

Incidentally, that New York Times column by Brennan bears the headline...

Programming note: Tonight, Thursday, I'll be checking in with Tucker Carlson, live across America at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific. If you're in the vicinity of the receiving apparatus, I hope you'll dial us up. ~As you know, guest-hosting America's Number One radio show last Friday, I promised that Rush would be back on Monday for a full week of authentic full-strength all-American-as-apple-pie Excellence in Broadcasting. Instead, it was Guest-Host Monday, Guest-Host Tuesday, Guest-Host Wednesday, and a barrage of emails and tweets and whatnot from aggrieved listeners berating me for false promises. Well, in mitigation, Rush was only supposed to be out one day - for a family wedding - but returning from the festivities he was stricken by some ...

If you missed our livestream Clubland Q&A earlier today, here's the action replay. Simply click above and settle back for an hour of my answers to questions from Mark Steyn Club members around the planet. On today's jam-packed cough-stricken show we chewed over, among many other topics, blasphemous Indonesians, flaming Swedes, non-wreath-laying wreath-layers, matching ties and handkerchiefs, and what a fine girl Brandy Edwards is. As our second season gets underway, I thank again those Steyn Club members who kept me in the game through what was the worst twelve months of my professional life. I shall never forget that, and I look forward to meeting some of you at least on our inaugural Mark Steyn Club Cruise next month, when we shall essay ...

After the deplorably low-grade guest-host at the end of last week, Tucker Carlson returned to the anchor chair on Monday night. Mark joined him to discuss the weekend's provocations by violent leftists - and the media's complicity in them. Click below to watch:

We ended the week with a double dose of me on TV and radio. First I guest-hosted for Rush on America's Number One radio show. You can find a few moments from the show here. And, as for a certain cruise I was talking about, you can find details of that here.

After the radio, I turned to telly:

In a few weeks' time we'll be launching the very first Mark Steyn Club Cruise along the St Lawrence and the Eastern Seaboard at the height of fall foliage. We'll leave Montreal on September 29th and sail aboard the beautiful ms Rotterdam, flagship of the Holland America fleet, via Quebec City, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Maine (with a brief passing glimpse of the highly minimal New Hampshire seacoast) before landing at Boston on October 6th. Along the way we'll be essaying a few shipboard versions of your favorite SteynOnline features, including The Mark Steyn Show, Tales for Our Time, Steyn's Sunday Poem and, of course, our Song of the Week with special musical guest Tal Bachman.

There'll also be plenty of...
