A note to our readers
Monday, 05 July 2010

Now that summer is here, SteynOnline is taking a break for a while, as I attend to some personal matters.

Thanks to everyone who's swung by these parts to read a column, listen to a podcast, buy a book, drop a missive to Mark's Mailbox, or download "A Marshmallow World", and in so doing helped to make this last year our best yet. I'm especially grateful to all those who chose to express their support for our campaign to restore free speech to Canada by buying Lights Out and much else.

While I'm gone, check the Binksmeister at Free Canuckistan and our other friends for all the news on that front. And, if you want a break from the grind of current events, dial up our podtastic audio specials for a ton of great entertainment - or prowl around the remoter corners of the site, for some favorite pieces on music, movies, people and places.

See you soon,

Mark

INDEPENDENCE

Things have slipped somewhat on the old independence front since I wrote the words below - for the first Glorious Fourth post-9/11 - and "independence" seems an endangered species under Good King Barack the Stimulator's government behemoth. This excerpt is from The Face Of The Tiger: July 4th 2002 To celebrate America’s...
