I’ll celebrate the way I usually do … working, and damned glad I have a job. Thanks to the sound and aggressive management of the company I work for, with an owner/publisher who made the tough choices and did what he had to do to keep us going. The unions helped to the extent that the unions got out [...]

Turkish-Canadian’s bid to end it all by stealing a plane and entering American airspace fails when F-16s decline to shoot him down. ABC. It’s different. Kind of silly. He could have ended it all at any point by putting his feet up on the console and taking a snooze. And for any Muslim who’s depressed, has psychological [...]

We broaden our minds and dispense with stereotypes when we travel, and see how others live. In this case, a short virtual-trip across our northern border reveals Canada is not just the charming nation of helpful Dudley Do-rights who say “eh” that we’ve always attempted to overwhelm with our Coca-Cola culture. It also has a quaint Orwellian underside. Steyn with the latest [...]

Steyn at NRO on his second victory against the Giant Killer Worms of Canadian “Human Rights” Commission. Having busted into the “wrong rec room,” they capitulated when confronted with the prospect of righteous combat. Now the mega-invertebrates are now squealing for mercy. It’s a cautionary tale of PC petard hoistage that the would-be speech moderators of the incoming Obama [...]

Important new Canadian blogger award. Note hurtful Anglophilic, pro-Crusader use of St. George’s Cross, not a maple leaf in sight. Obviously Steyn is this year’s big winner, but I am sure there must be a lot of other Canadians hurting people’s feelings out there. I’m a big fan of Small Dead Animals … a woman who speaks her mind and drives [...]

Ninety years ago today:
The notion that this was a day like none other here was established early on when, in the darkness before zero hour, the troops were treated to a rare hot breakfast. There was bacon, bread, butter, tea and oranges — and after the meal, an issue of rum for every soldier, “which [...]
