Posting will be a little lighter than usual at SteynOnline as Mark continues to deal with a family emergency. In case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to him:
~On Monday we began the week with Obama, Putin and a Steyn I-told-you-so moment.
~Tuesday marked one month till Mark returns to Minneapolis for An Evening With Mark Steyn to be hosted by the Center of the American Experiment. If you'd like to join Mark live at Orchestra Hall on October 9th, you can find more details here.
~On Wednesday the President gave his big speech on ISIS and announced what Steyn called his grand Coalition of the Unwilling.
~Thursday was the 13th anniversary of 9/11. Mark marked the occasion with a celebration of "God Bless America".
~On Friday Mark brought readers up to date on the upcoming Mann vs Steyn trial of the century with what became our most-read piece of the week, "Michael E Mann Repudiates His Own Hockey Stick" - on the latest fraudulent claims in Dr Mann's legal pleadings. Fortunately, SteynOnline readers have continued to support Mark's pushback against Mann and the other Big Climate thugs through their generous support of the Steyn store. We will continue to expose Mann's lies in the run-up to trial.
~At the weekend, Mark's Saturday film feature was the perfect date movie - if you had a date in Nuremberg 80 years ago: Triumph Of The Will.
A new week at SteynOnline begins tonight with our Song of the Week.
