The End is Nigh
Steyn On-Line ^ | January 25, 2024 | Mark Steyn

...for the plaintiff, that is. This is supposed to be the last day of his case. We shall see.

The big revelation on Thursday was Mann declaring that he had not spent a dime of his own money on his defamation suit these last twelve years, and that he did not owe any debt for those twelve years of legal services at no cost whatsoever.

A lot of observers in Courtroom 518 of the DC Superior Court seemed to think this was a big "Gotcha!" moment. Not me. It was mere bleak confirmation of what I had always suspected. I can never recover from these last twelve years, never mind the inevitable appeal that his counsel will bring, whatever the verdict. Just the tab for my stay in a DC hotel for a month of trial is more than he will ever pay.

On the other hand, Mann's pal, Bill Nye The Science Guy, held the door for me to be wheelchaired out of court yesterday. So there's that.

One source that has concocted “global warming,” is at the NBER.org.

What a creep.

Dr. Mann created this global warming scare, but creating that hockey stick, which was subsequently proven to be basically scientific fraud. Sticking two different data selectively together.

Mark looks horrible. Fake vaxes ruined his heart.

Re: 7 - Did Steyn say that?

He and his and his doctor(s) are the only ones who can definitively state and confirm that. Everyone else is conjecturing via ignoirance.

Nobody is as ignorant and rude as you Furry. Every post you make is an arrogant insult to others due to your over inflated opinion of yourself.

I feel sorry for you.

Dforest you are breaking the rules by being personal and insulting and that makes Free Republic look bad. It would be appreciated if you would follow the rules for posting.

Oh please. You have to be kidding. If I am insulted I will repond accordingly.

Who made you the police around here?

My interest is in keeping Free Republic functioning on a respectable level so everyone, including me, enjoys the debate.

Well goody for you. Tell that to Fury who disregards that all the time.

Bye now.

I see your selective outrage. This comment targets 'everyone' who doesn't agree with the OP as ignorant.

"Everyone else is conjecturing via ignoirance."

I don’t even know what y’all are fighting about and I am not outraged. All I am asking is that people follow the rules and keep the comments on an elevated level. People can disagree without descending into personal insults.

“Get better Mark. The world needs your voice.”

So true. He was born in 1959, making him about 65, too young to need a wheelchair.
