Mark Steyn

This week, our old friend and proto-podcaster Mark Steyn returns to the fold to discuss his terrific new book Disgrace to the Profession.

In the addition to the book, we also cover Trump (of course), Mark's neighbor, Bernie Sanders; the dissing of President McKinley, water levels in Alaska, and an update on Steyn vs. Mann. Yep, we got the band back together.

Music from this week’s episode:

Get Happy by Frank Sinatra

Oh man, this calls for a beer on the train home while I listen.
How many SteynOnline gift certificates do we have to commit to to get him back on a regular basis? Name your price man! Between Long's millions and the rest of our not millions, we can do it!

I would push back on Mark's characterization of the two party system. In Westminster systems like Canada's and Britain, members are usually bound to vote how the party leadership tells them. We don't have that in our system, which is why we don't need third parties. The purpose served by minor parties in parliamentary systems is served by members of the two parties that buck their leadership. That of course does not excuse the fecklessness of the GOP leadership.

Before I even start listening, I have to say again that EJHill is a genius.
