" Anyone know his email address? I would like to send him kudos for his fine writing."

- Go to Steyn's own web site at: http://www.marksteyn.com/
and you should be able to find a link to his e-mail address listed. Steyn has not updated his web site since just after the November elections. I don't know whether this is due to exhaustion or what, but he offers a note which seems to indicate that he intends to reopen the site soon.

My personal estimation: about 1/3 to 1/2 of them. Sometimes real DUmmies break through the fog that is their minds. For instance, Walt Starr was making sense about "election fraud" until recently. Then when Obama made his speech, he again swallowed the Kool-Aid

Ditter: These people need absolutely no help being delusional. None. Everyone of the real DUmmies seems to be in an abusive relationship or just out of one, in therapy, recovering alcoholic, unemployed, etc. They all have a problem that President Bush isn't solving to their satisfaction. They feed each other, and all we can do is sit back and feel both sorrow and anger for them. Or try to inject a reasonable thought into the discussion. Which is what I meant by "p*** them off".

I bet the guys at google would like to believe that. It's a good point. A bit overstated.

You're right of course. Let me restate that to say that the Internet rivals the invention of the printing press and writing.

This may be the DU post that encapsulizes the whole bunch:

Actually Al Gore is still my President until Jan 20th. Then Kerry.

They are just so self-righteously stupid...completely ignorant and yet arrogant about their ignorance.

Interesting, thanks. I always wondered about Boxing Day. Every day is boxing day in Houston. The poor/homeless bums stand on the street corners and hold plastic cups/hands out for money/food. Even I, a cold heartless Republican, am moved to give them money/sandwiches sometimes, but only if they are missing a limb or have a dog. I don't always let the fact that they might be sitting in a wheelchair influence me. I have seen several get up out of their wheelchairs and push them away. Kinda spoils the effect.

In today's opinion section they ran an editorial from a guy who did not register for the selective service in 1985. The main thrust of the article is that President Bush is going to bring back the draft and the US is the devil. Also, the article had a lot of Marxist propaganda. This guy works for a "Peace" council. The paper should of had an opposite viewpoint editorial, but did not as usual. Finally, the day after the election, I called our local newspaper and told the person who answered my call that your editors won't be too happy that Kerry conceded and said your right.

Do a search on here for Steyn...you can catch up & you'll love what you read. He is the best - nobody says it like Steyn!

Ann Coulter might be better to look at, but I'll take an editorial from Steyn any day of the week... I actually wish he had a daily column.

My local paper is just as bad. Nothing but anti-Bush editorials and stories. We complain a lot about the MSM but the local media can have just as much if not a bigger impact.

"the base needs a reality check, not more pandering"

This statements proves once again that the dems cannot be trusted to govern America. They cannot even govern their own party. They are just appeasers .. they continue to try to appease their own party members.

I find it hysterical that the dem leadership is trying to appease the kooky party members who believed the kooky statements made by the dem leadership about the Bush admin.

Great analysis from Steyn as usual.

Last year, Rush Limbaugh on his radio program, said that the Soviet Union planted "Seeds" in the United States and these "Seeds" have sprung up in the Democratic Party. Since the Democratic Party controls the MSM media, these Soviet "Seeds" have also sprung up there too. When Rush emphasized the Soviet “Seeds” being planted in the Democratic Party, I am now confident that President Bush is also aware of this. Also, I sure some of those “Seeds” are in the Republic Party too. Hagel, McCain & Luger come to mind. Finally, Rush said that Arnold never said that the Republic Party should move to the left. He said it was made up by the Media. No, I don’t support Arnold for President. I am Pro Life & against Foreign born Presidents

Well, Jesse could always chant: "we're orange, we're here. I got mine by selling beer!"

Here in Canada as far as I can tell its just another holiday attached to Christmas with frenzied bargain hunting shopping thrown in. No poor boxes anywhere that I know of.

Mark Steyn gets it right again! I hazard a guess we'll see two conservative parties fight it out in 2008 more than we'll see the GOP and the Democrats have another match. For the Democrats don't have any great ideas except to toss what few marbles they've left into the asylum. We're in the process of witnessing the implosion of the world's oldest political party. You can only guess the future once not even Humpty Dumpty's men can put it back together again. But it'll be a vast improvement over the one we have now.

LOL! I love it. I should use this as my tagline.
