Happy Father's Day to all our readers around the world. Mark has a special audio edition of The Mark Steyn Show with a few Father's Day moments down the years over at SteynOnline.
Sadly, some fathers are not with us today:
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked at SteynOnline.
~ In this audio edition of Steyn's Song of the Week, Mark told the story of a song that's a blast of pure joy, but emerged from an unlikely corner of history: "Ain't Misbehaving'".
~ At the start of the week, Mark surveyed the New West and the realities of demography in California and beyond. He also took a look back on the pilot programme for civilisational suicide in this topical take.
~ Later, we provided an update on Mann vs Steyn as Michael E. Mann attempted to Mannsplain his way out of well-deserved sanctions for presenting false evidence to the jury in the DC Superior Court.
~ On Wednesday Mark fielded questions from club members around the planet in his live Clubland Q&A. If you missed it, here's the action replay. This week's show covered a range of topics from "far right" fainthearts to Mike Johnson's travel plans.
~ Laura's Links returned on Thursday with Laura's excellent round-up of links plus some heartwarming stories in the Human Grace section.
~ In our most read piece of the week, Mark had some notes on a new war at the start of the weekend.
Later, Mark shared a brand-new Tale for Our Time: "Knock" - a short story from 1948 written by Fredric Brown.
~ On this week's episode of Mark Steyn on the Town, Mark remembered a fine songwriter, celebrated the centennial of a great American standard, and enjoy the windy Sinatra. If you are a Mark Steyn Club member, please log-in here.
~ Finally, Rick McGinnis changed up his regular movie review for a documentary on Kentucky coal miners, released in 1977.
A new week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 5:30pm British Summer Time/ 12:30pm North American Eastern Time.
