In case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with the first round of the French presidential election. Steyn analyzed what's to come in a final showdown between both of the neither-of-the-above candidates. It was our most read piece of the week.
~On Monday, in honor of Sultan Erdoğan's victory in the Turkish referendum, Mark's Song of the Week celebrated a famous number about earlier seismic change in the country: "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)."
~On Tuesday Steyn did double-duty on "Varney & Co" at Fox Business, talking Canadian lumber and free speech. In the wake of the cancellation of Ann Coulter's appearance at Berkeley, Mark, who has a long history with this subject, noted that we've been here before.
~Wednesday's SteynPost confronted one of the grimmest but most important subjects of our time - a world without work and death by despair: "What if there's no next?" Click below to watch:
~It's one hundred days since President Trump's inauguration. On Thursday The Mark Steyn Show offered a chance to see how his and Michele Bachmann's preview of forthcoming attractions had held up. Click below to watch:
~Kim Jong-Un's provocations continued. On Friday Steyn checked in with Neil Cavuto to marvel at how, in modern geopolitics, poverty is no obstacle to being a nuclear power.
~In observance of the thirtieth anniversary of a landmark bestseller, Mark's Saturday essay ruminated on pop and culture.
~From the Steyn archives, our weekend movie date presented Mark's interview with Celeste Holm, star of High Society and Gentlemen's Agreement, on what would have been her hundredth birthday.
And as a new month begins a special treat for Australian readers and others around the world: The May issue of Quadrant features an in-depth interview of Steyn by John Bloom: "Mark Steyn, Cole Porter and Freedom of Speech."
Some readers have asked us for an update on our dispute with CRTV. Well, it was Paul Kullman, Mark's former employee, who organized the conspiracy with Mike Young to shut down the show and lock Steyn out of his studio. It turns out he was a fugitive from justice throughout his entire employment on The Mark Steyn Show. Yesterday he was arrested and jailed in Williston, Vermont.
On an unrelated subject, Steyn has a new project in the works - on some of the workings of the amazingly lucrative American "college-loan industry", and especially so-called PLUS loans sold direct to parents. If you've had one sitting on your books for a decade or three, do drop Mark a line. Confidentiality will be respected.
A new week at SteynOnline begins tonight with a brand new live-performance edition of Mark's Song of the Week starring a twelve-time Grammy winner - and, if Steyn on camera makes you a little queasy, the good news is that in the se'nnight ahead he'll be back on radio!
And stay tuned for an exciting announcement for longtime SteynOnline readers...
