I know the on-again off-again nature of SteynOnline in recent months has sorely tried readers’ patience. Rather boringly, I have some health issues that demand somewhat more attention than I’ve been able to give them. So rather than keep driving you nuts by showing signs of life on the home page for a day or two and then lapsing back into sleep mode for a week, we’re going to close up shop for a while.
I very much regret having to do this. SteynOnline opened up just before Thanksgiving 2002 and, usually at this time of year, we’d be doing a big old anniversary bonanza. In recent seasons, late November and December have found me out on the airwaves plugging Jessica’s and my annual Christmas offering. But our instant disco classic will have to make it without my help this year. I would be remiss in not adding that it and many other delights remain available at our bookstore.
We will return before the end of the year. You can take that to the bank (and stick it in the vault next to your credit default swap).

The Seventies disco sensation of the 21st century is available, via download or CD, from Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, and, of course, the Steyn Store. British music lovers can find Mark & Jessica at Dress Circle, Amazon UK and iTunes UK. The Pundette says she never saw it coming, while Ed Driscoll admires the "understated cover art" - already a collector's item.

We began in Ottawa on October 30th with my big dinner for my fellow freespeecher Ezra Levant at the Crowne Plaza. It was a capacity crowd, and the Canadian Centre for... Read more...

Song of the Week
by James Pierpont
Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like a chorus of "Jingle Bells". This essay is excerpted from Mark's book A Song For The Season:
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way...
As well they might. Just in time... Read more...
Greatest hits
Half a decade ago, many of the themes subsequently addressed in America Alone were beginning to percolate through my writing. In this Daily Telegraph column from 2005 - the year of the London Tube bombings and the explosion of French riots - I look at Europe's experiment with theoretical "multiculturalism"... Read more...
