Over the weekend I woke up to find in my in-box the image at right with my name underneath. And my first woozy thought was that I must have transitioned and it had turned out surprisingly well. But then I wiped the sleep from my eyes and realized it was the peerless Lisa Boothe, guest-hosting for Tucker on Friday, introducing the Best of Steyn on the Democrat side of Campaign 2020. It's a fun compilation, I hope you'll agree. Click below to watch:
You can see the full hour with Lisa here. Tucker returns tonight!
If you prefer me in non-visual formats, please join me later today, Monday, for the latest episode of our brand new Tale for Our Time, The Prisoner of Windsor.
We had a busy weekend at SteynOnline starting with a somewhat somnolent edition of The Mark Steyn Show. Kathy Shaidle's Saturday movie date was The Male Animal, and for our Sunday song selection I recalled someone who danced like Zizi Jeanmaire. My weekend summer special rounded up some of those lost to ChiCom-19, from a randy marquess to Yogi Bear's girlfriend. Our marquee presentation was the above mentioned Tale for Our Time, a light summer diversion but not unrelated to the woes of the world in this most bizarre of years: You can find Episode One here, and Episode Two here.
The Mark Steyn Show and Tales for Our Time are made with the support of members of The Mark Steyn Club. You can find more details about our Club here - and we also have a great gift membership.

"Tucker returns tonight!"
When does "peerless" Mark return to Tucker?
Outstanding compilation!
I don't know why but I always get a kick out of seeing the popular commentators flub it up just a little, just every now and then, like when Tucker called Mark, "Mike." I could see that a hundred times and find that even funnier that Tucker didn't catch himself the first time. The Mike and Martha Show! There are possibilities for a sitcom with these two gents. It helps me realize nobody, even the famous people, can live without making an occasional goof.
During the early Eighties, it was alleged that Leonid Brezhnev, the Soviet General Secretary, was kept animated only by electric shocks. Since Biden has embraced the Green New Deal, I assume that he can't move unless the sun is lighting up his solar panels.
Trouble is, Joe, solar panels don't work that well in a basement, because... Oh, never mind.
Hilarious, O.; thanks. I feel better already, and I haven't yet listened to the boss-man on the Democrat campaign.
Shouldn't Joe advertise himself as "the Anti-Nosferatu"?
"Not undead = stone dead"? I can go with that. He's an "anti-Nosferatu" in other senses too. I mean, if you were the estimable Vampyre, would you want to sink the old fangs into that neck? Or have his company for the rest of eternity?
Give me Isabelle Adjani any day of the week. Or any discarded harpy, if her politics are too much like Mr Biden's, as long as I get time off for good behaviour.
I'd never thought of this before, but is "Thelma and Louise" a re-make of "L'Été Meurtrier"?
Solar panels work pretty well in a basement if you move them close to the grow lights. That's the way Green Energy works.
Yeah, as long as your local power plant keeps the grow lights glowing. A little like those machines that create their own energy and are all frauds like the green new deal
"Thelma and Louise"? You're in my blind spot, O. It was recommended by a feminist: went straight to the top of my "must-miss" list. Sorry, pal.
I didn't like it. I think Susan Sarandon's character was supposed to be the heroine, but she has to be the most obnoxious one in the history of cinema.
Oh good. I've been trying to get hold of it this week past without success, but I think I'll let it go, now I've read your non-endorsement. I hate wasting time watching films which were never going to work for me. Can't talk about "Gone with the wind" for the same reason. Frankly, my dear.... Guess I'm just a philistine, musically, cinematically and theatrically. "The iceman cometh" infallibly bores me to death.
I once attended a ballet, too. And survived a lunch-time recital of the "Messiah". I'm sure they were very good.
I have a really hard time watching Joe Biden without thinking of the 1961 Kirk Douglas classic, A Town Without Pity.
Never having seen the film I don't know why.
The picture you woozily woke to was an illustration of the trans you could be if you still had access to the Fox make up specialists.
Corn Pop, horse-faced lesbians, and lying, dog-faced pony soldiers. This really has been an election season to remember. Or forget. But I did follow Biden's advice and dropped a knife in my rain barrel. It should be good and rusty if antifa come calling. I won't be able to reach it, of course, but I feel better knowing it's there.
You forgot to tie a string around it first, didn't you?
It was fun watching the Best of Steyn segment. Attention Mark's wonderful staff!! PLEASE get Lisa a membership to the club, she seemed surprised at Mark's singing, she needs to have access to his past shows and become aware of the CD's etc. She will love it.
Thank you!
Obviously unaware of his status as an Amazon #1 Best Selling Jazz Recording artist...
Half the fun of seeing you on Tucker is watching him truly cracking up at everything you say! I yuk it up myself and can count on you to provide a little levity in the midst of all this chaos, but Tucker gets the biggest kick out of your appearances.
And Mark just keeps a straight face.
