“What price our pseudo-empathy” –Steyn; Maclean’s June 8 issue.

Most of the time I feel like wringing Steyn’s neck, but I still keep reading his column. His incredible stew of hyperbolae, sarcasm, feigned indignation and pseudo-righteousness makes for good entertainment and considerable hilarity. His quip about Mariam Farahat is caustic and wonderfully stated. Unfortunately, it’s not a joke. His picking on Obama, not so much. But hey, we’ll take the good with the bad. Iconoclastic, contumacious contumely is rare in today’s politically correct media, especially written intelligently. Carry on, soldier!
