Steyn’s Hot New Album

~ ITEM: Sweet Gingerbread Man…as you’ve never heard it before by Jessica Martin & Mark Steyn

~ WHEN HE’S not isolated in his fortress of hate, blendering kittens and spewing foul invective against helpless minorities, Mark Steyn has a curious habit: he likes to sing. The latest offering he sent along to the Binks HQ (he’s generous that way) is his latest Christmas mini-album, with he and Jessica Martin duelling voices.

We’ve got his take on Sweet Gingerbread Man, Merry Little Christmas, Running on Eggnog, last year’s Marshmallow World as a bonus track, Santa Is Comin’ To Town, and a great reprise of Gingerbread Man to top off this Yuletide feast.

First off– since his 2008 debut, Mark’s had some good vocal training, and you can year it in the new vibrato, clear notes, and bouncy lyrical style. Second, the songs aren’t just a one-off novelty item: as a notorious ‘former DJ’ with a deep love for music, it shows in the songs, and selections chosen. As I listened to the songs, it evoked the Christmas spirit, and I naturally assumed the family would be listening to this amongst the other holly jolly tunage this Christmas– it’s that good, and that fun.

Red Sky In Morning

Everybody Look What’s Going Down

“One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus’ claims by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven. He replied, ‘You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow, red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You are good at reading the weather signs in the sky, but you can’t read the obvious signs of the times!’” [ Matthew 16:1-3 ]

~ ITEM: The Silver Lining of the Left in Power

~ ITEM: Twitter Invites Zealous Bureaucrats to Regulate its Service

~ THE THIRD Liberal Fascist revolution, and those who serve it, are making little effort to hide their machinations and goals any more.

The White House? In full surrender/ self-defeat mode. The EU? Lisbon voted through means utopia is nigh. The Copenhagen enviro-world domination cult? Underway.

After the crash of the 60′s as such, the radicals went into government and academia and government. There’s nothing to hide now, so the Western Civ haters are happily back into the open, working as if their utopia counted on it, and attacking the opposition as viciously as they can. As Shaidle quoted someone recently, the rads are ranting and slanging and pulling things down so hard because they’re really afraid the conservatives are right, and the rad time is short.

Cheer up– things will get much, much worse. Freespeechers, conservative people of faith, conservative media & bloggers, parents of school-kids, Jews (liberal and not), non-radical protesters and legitimate critics, opponents of Islam? You and others are in the crosshairs of the deathmatch between statist secularism and militant Islam, with no mercy for suckers in the middle.
