Happy Presidential Election grand finale to all our French readers. If you're wondering what Steyn makes of it, well, he's been here before. He'll have more to say as the results roll in. In a more congenially francocentric mode, Mark celebrated a favorite French movie.
Yesterday Steyn launched The Mark Steyn Club. For details on that, see here. As for how it impacts Se'nnight of Steyn subscribers, scroll down.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with a brand new live-performance edition of Steyn's Song of the Week, featuring Mark's presentation of a twelve-time Grammy-winner with a primer in the blues. Click below to watch:
~On Monday, Steyn looked at the state of play in Britain's forthcoming general election. It was our most-read piece of the week.
~Tuesday's SteynPost considered "The Politicization of Everything". Click below to watch:
~On Wednesday Mark joined Marie Harf for the full hour of a brand new TV show - "The Fox News Specialists", with Eric Bolling, Kat Timpf and Eboni K Williams. Click here for some video highlights, and here for the transcript.
~On Thursday Buckingham Palace announced a kind of semi-retirement for the hardworking nonagenarian Duke of Edinburgh starting in the fall. Steyn shared a few memories of a long-serving consort.
~It was a busy week for Mark on television and radio, culminating on Friday in a full three hours behind the Golden EIB Microphone. On TV he was in-studio with Tucker Carlson to mull some of the livelier examples of airline "customer service".
~For a weekend reading treat, Australian readers and others around the world enjoyed Quadrant's full-length in-depth interview of Steyn by John Bloom: "Mark Steyn, Cole Porter and Freedom of Speech."
As noted above, The Mark Steyn Club launched this weekend with various benefits. Those who subscribe to this weekly digest via our SteynOnline mailing list are automatically enrolled, free of charge, as Basic Members, which sounds a bit dragged-down-the-aisle-from-coach-class on United, but it does entitle you to special Member Prices at the SteynOnline bookstore. Or you can upgrade to Founder Membership here.
Steyn has a new project in the works - on some of the workings of the American "college-loan industry", and especially so-called PLUS loans sold direct to parents. If you have any experiences to share, do drop Mark a line. Confidentiality will be respected.
A new week at SteynOnline begins tonight with an appropriately Gallic Song of the Week - and later this week, for Mark Steyn Club members, Part One of a rollicking, ripping yarn.
