UPPESTDATE! Thank you for all your questions. If you missed the live broadcast, the action replay can be heard in full here.
UPPERDATE! We're live now, so let's have at it!
UPDATE! We'll be going live in about fifteen minutes, so do get ready to fire off your questions via the comment form below. See you at the top of the hour. And to listen simply click the livestream feed.
Yes, it's me! Mark Steyn of that ilk - back in the saddle for another hour of questions from Steyn Clubbers around the planet. Anything to talk about?
Why, yes, there is. Our Clubland Q&A starts live at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm Greenwich Mean Time/9pm Central European. If you chance to be elsewhere, do check local listings below.
At the time of writing, this is still not quite a normal election. Unlike Botswana, the outgoing regime has yet to acknowledge its defeat. In contrast to, say, Bush in 2008, whoever's waggling the dead husk in the Oval Office has yet to congratulate his successor. Unlike Romney, McCain, Dole, the losing candidate has yet to deliver one of those dignified concession speeches at which Republicans excel but which the other guys have no desire to become expert in. Elsewhere, even the BBC has thrown in the towel:
Trump Wins
But CNN prefers something slightly more loaded:
Trump Retakes Power
At least three prime ministers have congratulated him. So how long can NPR hold out? Instead of watching America's crapwanker media, enjoy one of my favourite campaign moments, courtesy of these Ugandan moppets:
So on today's Clubland Q&A we shall try not to gloat too insufferably. I'm happy to entertain your thoughts on any aspect of the last twenty-four hours or so - or of the preceding four years. Whether or not you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, you can listen to our show live as it happens wherever you chance to be on this turbulent earth: Club membership is required only to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, and especially appreciate those who are having such a great time round these parts that they've signed up a chum for a Steyn Club Gift Membership. Among the additions to our ranks in recent days are newbies from around the globe - from Toronto to Tunbridge Wells, La Grange to Llangynidr, Ashkelon to Invercargill. Whether you've joined this week either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter, do shoot me a head-scratcher for today's show.
But, if you're not interested in joining, no worries, as they say in Oz: We seek no unwilling members - and as always the show is free to listen to, so we hope you'll want to tune in. So see you back here at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm in London, 9pm in Budapest, where the Prime Minister has already congratulated Mr Trump; 10pm in Jerusalem, where the Prime Minister has done likewise; 11pm in Moscow; half-past-eleven in Teheran; one-forty-five in Kathmandu; 4am in Singapore and Honkers (sorry about that); 7am in Sydney and Melbourne; 9am in Auckland, and an even more convivial hour for the kippers and kedgeree in His Majesty's Dominions eastward across the Pacific, where you're so far ahead I've probably already lost my appeal by now...
