I Never Promised You a Joe Pardon
Programming note: Tonight, Tuesday, I'll be here with another episode of our brand new Tale for Our Time. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we'll have a post-inaugural Clubland Q&A with questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm Greenwich Mean Time/9pm Central European. Hope you can swing by. ~Nice to see the wife of one of the most heroically heroic figures in American history belatedly waking up to the realisation that her hubby's no Jim Biden but just some schlub off the boat from Odessa who got played for a sucker by Mister Ten Per Cent: OK, I changed my mind. These pardons were worth it just so I could see Rachel Vindman throw a tantrum over not getting one. pic.twitter.com/HFzUmgaaZh — ...

A Clubman's Notes
"The Euthanasia People"
Here we go with Part Four of our latest audio diversion, and our first foray into the oeuvre of Robert Hugh Benson. Lord of the World is a work of speculative fiction from 1907 about the western world in the early twenty-first century - and Mr Benson got an awful lot of things right. Thank you for all your kind comments on the early installments of this tale. Annie, a Texas member of The Mark Steyn Club, writes: I am so excited you are reading this book! I have read it twice, the second time as my selection when it was my turn to host my book club last year. Anyway, I will be very curious as to how LOTW is received by the MSC, as it is very Catholic. I think it's a fascinating book, and its prescience is remarkable. Well, I don't know ...

Snowed In on the 11.37
Welcome to the sixty-seventh audio adventure in our series Tales for Our Time - and the first of this year's Yuletide capers - Mystery in White, a "Christmas crime story" from 1937 by Jefferson Farjeon, scion of an eminent family, as Mark notes in his introduction, that has given us, among other delights, the definitive Rip van Winkle, a ditty about the Royal Family, and a global pop hit. Part One.
