I'm am acquiring a real collection of Mark Styen articles! LOL One of my favorites was : Forget it boys: you won't pin this one on the President
The Sunday Telegraph (U.K.) | 07/14/2002 | Mark Steyn

"So, if the low-interest loan won't jump, the only outrageous Bush-toppling scandal left in play is the fact that in 1990 Harken Energy Corp was a few months late filing a routine letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission confirming that Mr Bush had divested some stock and was blah-blah-blah . . . growing drowsy . . . zzzzzzzz . . . impenetrable technical violation . . . losing the will to type.

Oh, pardon me, I dozed off in the middle of the sentence. For the last three readers who haven't skipped ahead to the the books section, the danger for the Democrats here is in over-reaching. By the end of the week, the ethics bores were whipped up over the SEC's latest investigation - into Bristol-Myers Squibb for practices that "inflated sales by $1 billion". "

I can't help it - I laugh myself silly when I read this article. It's fabulous. He's my writing "hero." :)

Guess I'm feeling nostalgic for the good ol' days...

Yeah, back when our state was the newest.

Thank you for posting on Breaking News! Anything by Mark Steyn merits it!

Underneath all the "coping" and "healing" and the rest of the Dianafied soft-focus blur this Wednesday, you won't hear a lot about anger. But quiet, righteous anger is what a lot of Americans still feel.

Another great Steyn piece,... but, aren't they all?

I have no intention of "coping" or "healing". I plan on keeping the "anger" alive until every last one of those responsible has gone from "fighting the Great Satan" to meeting the real Satan.

A Saturday morning Mark Stein bump for FR's quintessential gentleman!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

And it would help, of course, if I had spelled "Steyn" correctly. (I was momentarily on auto-pilot, and didn't even think about it.) So here's another bump. : )

Almost a hundred posts and Pokey hasn't pinged the MPSL yet. Does THAT qualify as breaking news? ;)

Thanks for posting this!

~~~Hey, wait -- they're leaving in droves. ~~~

And you just exposed what you're REALLY talking about, didn't you?

[Rocko]

Bump.

[Howlin]

My friend, everyone with a brain has been banned from here before.

I see you're still here. :-) Be nice.

Excellence is deeply appreciated in writers such as Steyn, and FReepers such as you!

[terilyn]

I love Steyn. And thanks for the reminder to replace those decals on my windows of my car. They're getting a little faded.

Thanks for the ping Meek!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for the ping, Meek. Sometimes reading the endless "Barf alert" roster at FR (representing the typical mainstream press's daily output), Mark Steyn's article's are all that seem to stand between civilization and Noam Chomskyworld. The Big Press owes these courageous columnists more than they know....tar and feathers standing by for the day we no longer have a voice.

Thanks for the post, MadIvan. Steyn is breaking news. Most other headlines can go straight to solid waste disposal.
