What a joy to read a Steyn that quidnunc hasn't excerpted. The line,
Same in Holland until Pim Fortuyn got gunned down by a crazed vegetarian, the first fruitarian to kill a fruit Aryan.
would never have appeared in his version.

Most Britons don't want to be part of a super-Eurasian state. They want to be governed from London from a Parliament they elected to represent them, not grandees from a distant Brussels.

Actually, I believe that Steyn is recycling that line, as I'm positive I've heard him use it before.

If parts of a piece are missed because of excerpting, it is the responsibility of the reader, not of the poster. Click on link. Register if needed. Opt out of spam.

I don't see why I should have to waste my time doing that, especially at sites that want to send you a confirmation email so that they can ensure that they have your email for which there is no legitimate purpose.
But do as you please.

Same in Holland until Pim Fortuyn got gunned down by a crazed vegetarian, the first fruitarian to kill a fruit Aryan. Normally, I'd chide Mark for using the same line in more than one article, but considering it is by far the most clever line ever written, I'm inclined to give him a pass.

I would like to see the mods excerpt all of quidnunc's replies.
What's so maddening is that he only cuts off 2 paragraphs, so you happily read along until you scroll a little bit, and there you have to click over. I would much rather have the first two graphs posted.

Steyn actually recycles a lot. Some of his best columns are in the Telegraph, National Post and Sun-Times, with a slight variation to account for regionalities.

Between the Eutopian dreams in Eurabia full of Eurinals led by Eurodee and Eurodum, the humor says the EU loses if it ever comes before the people. The question becomes whether the elites ever allow it to come to a vote.

I wasn't very amused by the Pim Fortuyn reference... Steyn usually has more class than that. But the rest is spot on insightful as usual.

Immigration is a comparable issue in the US. Neither party wants to talk about it. Most of the public does.
To: Dog Gone
I think we need to have an intervention regarding quidnunc and Mark Steyn. Call everyone in on a special thread and plead with him to leave Steyn alone!

Cross-referencing this Steyn from last week:
Reagan knew why the EU won't work
By Mark Steyn(Filed: 08/06/2004)
'We are a nation that has a government - not the other way around." Of all the marvellous Ronald Reagan lines retailed over the weekend, that's my favourite.

The best posts are when anyone posts one sentence and then excerpts. And, there are a lot of posts done like that from sources that need no excerpting.
