The man is a Canadian P. J. O'Rourke. How does he keep doing it? He is dead-on in his analysis and hilarious each time out.

Another in a long line of admirable writings from Mr. Steyn (peace and blessings be upon his name).

One thing (of many) that amazes me is how he is able to change his author's "voice" to fit the publisher's locale, depending on whether he's writing for the Brits, for the Americans, or for Canadians. Neat trick...

If you're going to be provocative, it's best to do it with people who can't be provoked.

The anti-Christian and anti-American Brits will be the first ones skewered by the swords of the Islamists they now coddle. At least there is some justice in that, as ironic as it is.

Don't even think about satirizing Moslems.

Explains a LOT of Liberal anti-American, anti-white, anti-male, anti-legal gun owner (etc etc) stuff, actually.

"The largest group of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic activities appears to be young, disaffected white Europeans," said the official summary, introducing us to the concept of Euromaths. If you troubled yourself to look inside, it turned out that some nine per cent of anti-Semitic attacks were by young white males. The remaining 91 per cent were by... well, let's not get into that.

You see, since 9% are committed by YDWE, they're a "group of [I suppose that would be "with", but who cares about prepositions?] perpetrators". And there are more YDWE than there are Muslims in Europe; hence, YDWE are the largest group of perpetrators, albeit also the one that commits the least number of crimes. You know, like how Canada is the largest country in North America even though it has the fewest people.

Last year on the Net, a woman in Holland was lecturing me about Bush. I said, fine, go ahead and think Bush is your biggest threat. But while you're smoking your legal pot, the Muslims are getting ready for you - dig it, honey?

"We're Sending You A Schoolgirl Bomb From Allah" might attract notice from a livelier crowd. If you're going to be provocative, it's best to do it with people who can't be provoked.

Another routine great Steyn! Thanks Pokey!
