Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with Steyn mourning the passing of Fats Domino and celebrating his biggest hit, "Blueberry Hill".
~On Monday Mark hosted another Clubland Q&A taking questions live from Mark Steyn Club members around the planet. Topics covered ranged from Robert Mueller's Russia indictments to Kevin Spacey's career collapse, with side considerations of Quebec's niqab ban and the return of chaperones. You can listen to the full show here.
~Tuesday was Halloween. Steyn offered a scary movie, a scarier video, and some truly terrifying audio. But he also presented, as part of our Tales for Our Time series, a feline story with a difference - Mark's reading of Rudyard Kipling's "The Cat That Walked By Himself".
~A few hours before Halloween celebrations, an Uzbek Muslim decided to celebrate diversity by going full Allahu Akbar on a Manhattan bike path. Steyn's reaction to the slaughter was our most-read piece of the week. The following day, Wednesday, he kept his midweek date with Tucker Carlson to discuss the politico-media response to the attack.

~On Thursday Mark did his best to wrap his head around an especially impenetrable story from Down Under - the expulsion from the Australian Parliament of the Deputy Prime Minister and various other MPs for being covert semi-aliens.
~To kick-start the weekend, Steyn hosted another video edition of Mark's Mailbox pondering Reformation and retreat, the right to rape, and eminent knights from Sir Ninian Stephen to Sir Mick Jagger. Click below to watch:
