Sure sure. I've got SteynOnline in my favorites and there is new stuff almost every day. At least once a week something there just kills me. :lmao: (and the politics are usually right on)
Sadly he's doing "Monica Week" this week and, though hilarious, I forgot how sick of that stuff I was. Still, his greatest hits go back as far as 10 years and are a very interesting journey through the political time machine.
