"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I wish Fox would give Mark Steyn his own show. He's smarter than Tucker Carlson and funnier than Jessie Watters. And for the ladies, I think, pretty good looking too.

He started his own show on the new CRTV network which was cancelled fairly quickly in animosity, resentment and bitterness. He may not have the disciplined work habits essential to a regularly scheduled show. Who knows?

. I've never met Steyn,but my guess is that your similarities are not similar.

I've met him. He's tall, red-headed, good-looking, and women swooned over him. So yeah, not similar. But he also sings.

his best biting edge material seems to come in waves and cycles.....I believe he has to develop his pithy commentary by giving a relative 'recovery' period where the white-hot heat of his observations of current events comes to season and mature into rigorously funny ;
and there's only so much of such wry dead-on commentary that even *I* can take.

Thirty minutes of Steyn might just be too much. I see him as a sprinter, not a Long Distance guy.
When he's good, he's great.

That is sort of how it comes across when he subs for Rush. A lot of blustering backing and filling, and finally a comedy gold zinger.
