In case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark.
Even if you love the genre, it's hard to say whether the world of the screwball comedy is a kind of paradise or simply a circle of hell. It is, to be sure, its own world – a parallel universe where stereotypes exist to be mocked, inhibitions are quickly overcome, and the usual laws of action and reaction take a circuitous, often improbable route.

The Mark Steyn Club is celebrating its seventh birthday this month, and we thank all our old friends from May 2017 who've decided to hop on board for our eighth year. Ray, a First Week Founding Member from Oregon, writes: I feel honored to be an early member of The Mark Steyn Club and to play a small part in supporting you in both the political & entertainment spheres of your life.
