Mark Steyn gives an update about Michael Mann's lawsuit against him.

He concludes:

"As readers may have deduced from my absence at National Review Online and my termination of our joint representation, there have been a few differences between me and the rest of the team. The lesson of the last year is that you win a free-speech case not by adopting a don't-rock-the-boat, keep-mum, narrow procedural posture but by fighting it in the open, in the bracing air and cleansing sunlight of truth and justice."

I hope his finances survive this grave injustice.

[mojito]

National Review has been reduced to insipid lifestyle pages for the RINO set.

Buckley must be turning in his grave.

[Travis McGee]

Adios, NRO. Steyn left, and me too.

[Nervous Tick]

Praise GOD that Steyn has the courage and the resources to fight this good fight.

[Slings and Arrows]

Steyn ping.

[NonValueAdded]

even Steyn’s legal filings are a joy to read!

[Mr. K]

Mann has no chance of winning, he just wants to force Steyn to spand a ton of money.

Who is financing Mann?

FOLLOW THE MONEY

This should go on t-shirts and billboards. And the Goodyear blimp. And anyplace else where it might be seen. Lawyers can't protect our rights. By the time they get involved, the fight is already more than half over.
