In just over a week's time - assuming there isn't yet another last-minute cancellation - Mark will be in the dock in courtroom 518 of the DC Superior Court in the nation's fetid capitol over a 270 word blog post from 2012 that called out corruption at Penn State - specifically its cover-up of serial paedo Jerry Sandusky and its likewise appalling cover-up of global warm-monger Michael E Mann and his fraudulent climate-change "hockey stick".
This should have gone to trial years ago - but sadly, Mark's then co-defendants went down the procedural bollocks road - depleting precious resources and time. Mark took a different approach. He asked to separate from them and go to trial immediately but was denied. Instead of resting on his laurels, Mark then used funds raised to undertake an exhaustive research project culminating in the publication of "A Disgrace To The Profession: The World's Scientists, In Their Own Words, On Michael E Mann, His Hockey Stick And Their Damage To Science - Volume 1 in 2015.
This compilation, along with our very own limited edition SteynOnline Liberty Stick - personally signed and numbered by Mark - are available at the SteynStore.
But it's not all hugely expensive legal undertakings at SteynOnline...in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~ The week began on New Year's Eve appropriately enough with Steyn's Song of the Week: Auld Lang Syne
~ Mark presented the second of his tip of the hat to those from the music world we lost in 2023 on New Year's Day.
~ On Tuesday Mark's New Year Notebook previewed Mark's upcoming trial and the climate alarmism campaign to jail (or gaol) those who question the new religion.
~ In Wednesday's Clubland Q&A, Mark answered questions from club members on the resignation of Harvard's deeply unimpressive president, the continuing silence on excess deaths in England and Wales, and around the vaccinated world - and more.
~ Laura's Links returned on Thursday with her famous round-up of stories from around the world.
~ On Friday, The Narrative Unraveled...
~ The Feast of the Insurrection was celebrated on January 6th in Mark's special column on the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats.
~ Rick's Flicks rounded up the weekend with a review of Executive Suite.
A new week begins with Steyn's Song of the Week on Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm GMT.
