Update:  This is just a reminder to keep New Hampshire’s very own “scary conservative with a hidden agenda” in your thoughts. And to persuade you to consider wandering over to www.steynonline.com, home of entertaining edification, to help fight for free speech.  We need all the fighters we can get these days.  Too many are seeking illusory solace of their shoes and not looking at the threat right straight in the eyes.  Well Mark’s doing just that.  Unintimidated, he’s staring directly into eyes of one lavishly funded Mann who’s seeking to silence his critics.  Help Mark fight back.

Sometimes I promise myself to do something really important just for it to then whirl away out of consciousness and into the windy spirals of daily life. Then upon later remembering it, I cringe from shame and embarrassment.

Today was one of those days. What happened?

All through January, I noticed a particularly stark absence from National Review Online. One of my all time favorites was conspicuously gone. “Bah,” I said to myself, “he’s probably brow down, tapping out another illuminating book and is too jammed to fit bits of wit into the Corner”. So weeks breezed by. Then about a week ago I decided to dig into the void.

And what do you know. He has been working on a book. But, that’s not all, he’s been ensnared in the grip of the sand dune encrusted sausage grinder known as the American Justice System!!!

For those that do not know, and for those that do but have been as pathetic as I have been, Mark Steyn is taking on another fight for free speech.

No, this time it’s not for a perceived besmirching of the Koranically cloaked. This time he was addressing a different religion entirely. One that’s no longer nascent or budding (except when juxtaposed by the traditional religions), but one that has taken partial root, though still scrambling for converts (especially after  this, this, this, among many others ) The religion: The Climatist. You know Warm Mongers, Climate Mongers… Global Warming Bull Sh*tters!

You can read about the details of the lawsuit he’s tied up in at www.steynonline.com, but it pretty much comes down to a Fake Nobel Laureate named Michael Mann getting his panties in a wad because Steyn called “Bullsh*t” on Mann’s famous Hockey Stick schtick. The thin skinned fake Nobeller then got all weepy, and got his lawyer buddies together to try to silence his critics. Well he hasn’t done that, not yet.

But he did sue Mark Steyn and National Review.  And the suit has been dragging on in the “sclerotic dump of American ‘justice’” for over a year (Mark’s phrase).  Again being on the receiving end of a Big Gov process is the punishment in and of itself (Mark paraphrase), and Mark’s being punished for the audacity of having an opinion.  But as he says (emphasis mine):

Michael Mann has got an awful long way simply by threatening to sue relatively minor and impoverished targets – in Minneapolis, Vancouver and elsewhere. Many of his fellow scientists deplore the one-party state he’s turned climate science into, but they do so privately, for fear of what happens when, like Judith Curry, you speak out. So simply to end the climate of fear he has to be dragged into court and lose, big.

He’s absolutely right. It’s as if Ms Mann is using the court system to exact his retribution. Never intending to go to trial, just to harangue his critics long enough to silence them, and intimidate anyone else who dares contradict his faith based “science”.

I say, we help out this New Hampshirite. We help fight for free speech. We help teach Mr Mann and his other craven contemptible ilk a lesson, that’ we’re not going to cower to maggot infested refuse like him. Please visit Mark Steyn’s site and Give the Gift of Steyn… and help support free speech

He need not go it alone. Help put Mann back in his mannzeer and scurry on his way.  I urge you, as well as all of the other Groksters do, (hope I’m not speaking out of turn here guys) to go to www.steynonline.com and buy a book, mug, or, do what I finally got off my ass and did today, buy a Gift Certificate.  They’re good for forever.  The Gift Certificates never expire.  Don’t wait until tomorrow, that doesn’t work.  It’ll never happen without the pang of shame and guilt for not supporting a good cause when it needed it…www.steynonline.com.  Personally, I think Mark should add a Litre Steyn or Beer Steyn to his catalog of goods… but that’s just me.
