... My final appearances at National Review Online ...

And he's severed his legal defense from them. Haven't seen Steyn on the back page at all in several issues. Anybody know if he's completely done at National Review? I need to cancel my subscription, if so.

I’m sure Russia or China would treat people with his expertise a bit better. Amerrikka? We destroy them.

Michael Mann isn't really a scientist. Oh, yes, I'm sure he still dabbles in it now and then just to keep his hand in. But the bulk of his energies are devoted to getting people who disagree with him fired, banned or silenced. Real Nobel Prize winners (as opposed to fraudulent self-garlanded ones) don't do that. But every day Dr Mann is demanding that someone be shut up.

It seems unlikely that Albert Einstein lobbied people to be censored or fired because they "denied" relativity. Or Watson and Crick because people denied the helical structure of DNA. Or Richard Feynmann because people denied the mathematics of quantum chromodynamics.

Maybe Feymann would have argued that Albert Einstein should be fired from his job at Princeton because he was a quantum theory skeptic. Bah!

Mozilla's chairwoman Mitchell Baker . . .

I'm sure that bit of affirmative action didn't help the judgment factor at board level. And what kind of woman calls herself "Mitchell"? A Prop-8 hater, perhaps? Just trying to read between the lines.

He should cash out all his shares, start a new company, and blow Mozilla away.

Steyn ping.

Mark Steyn has a “way with words”, once again proving that the “pen is mightier than the sword”.

One of our software savvy FReepers would do a service putting up a thread for migrating from FireFox to Opera in a manner that preserves bookmarks, etc.

Celebrate Conformity may be accurate, but I think it a poor choice of word. We're not talking about alignment with the norm here, but Submission, Surrender, Obedience, or Cowering to a brutal, thuggish, craven, and desperate minority might be more to the point.

Homosexuals are desperate to be viewed as normal. They know they’re not and nothing will ever make their behavior or lifestyle normal. Actually, I am wrong, Jesus Christ will.
