This is a long piece but it does have underage sex and bestiality in it. So enjoy!
The other day I had an e-mail from M J Murphy, who blogs as Big City Lib, saying only this:
There followed a link to a post called Steyn Gets Punked By 28-Year Old Literary Hoax:I think you owe Dr. Miller an apology.
Remember the kerfuffle between Mark Steyn and journalism professor Dr. John Miller from a few weeks back? Dr. Miller accused Steyn of taking material for "America Alone" from illegitimate sources like the infamous Little Green Book: Sayings of the Ayatollah Khomeini.* [*UPDATE: M J Murphy has quietly revised this paragraph, and so the airbrushing begins]
Actually, I don’t think Dr Miller has accused me of any such thing, though I admit, given his shifting accusations, that I’m no longer quite sure what he’s accusing me of. Just to recap, said “kerfuffle” arises from this passage in a review I wrote for Maclean’s of Oriana Fallaci’s final book The Force Of Reason:

I've been off Steyn for a while, thinking he didn't have anything new to say. This is great. imho.
Probably a good idea to put your coffee down while reading too, remember that!
“If I were celebrated toilet photographer Warren Kinsella or leading Canadian Internet Nazi Lucy Warman, I’d sue. But I’m not. Nor, despite a flying visit to the Falklands and a couple of wet weekends in Wales, have I ever been attracted to sheep-shagging. But I imagine it feels a bit like dealing with Messrs Miller, Murphy and the Law R Cool kids: No matter how often you roger them senseless, they keep on bleating.”
He. is. HILARIOUS!
Academicians need to be regulated and licensed.
I love Mark Steyn, and this is one of the best ever, for sure. It is long, but be sure to take time to read the whole thing. This case just illustrates liberalism in a nutshell.
Wow...!
LOL!
Program Note: Mark Steyn will be guest-hosting for Rush Friday January 28th.
Mark is an extraordinary treasure - a guy with a wonderful sense of wit and humor, coupled with great writing and verbal abilities, and sharp as a tack. No one can match him.
The problem with Steyn is that it’s almost impossible to embellish or improve on him. The only comments you can make are “wow”!.
Thank you for the heads up.
I had never heard his voice before; last time he filled in I thought "who is this guy; he is crazy and brilliant at the same time!"
I can't get enough of him when he fills in for Rush. He speaks like it is his last day at work.
Thank you for posting this gem. I love it when he guest hosts...very clever speaker and funny.
Definitely TMI, but go get them Mark.
He has no peer.
stolen and emailed, everyone needs to read this
I dont think this is a General Chat topic.
This is an article about the lies of today and manipulation of information.
Recently people were told in the MSM that Maine’s governor Lepage told the NAACP to “kiss his butt.”
He actually told critics who said he was not bowing enought to special interest groups to kiss his butt.
The media lies
Daily.
Leftists lie
Constantly.
Let’s not chat about it.

Note to self: Do not get into a war of words with Mark Steyn.
Thanks Lonesome in Massachussets (the topic) and Rummyfan (the info in msg 7).
