Da-yum. Steyn writes so well that he almost discourages me from writing my column on the defalcation of the Supreme Court. And I've been on this subject for 33 years. LOL.

At first I read that as "... my column on the defecation of the Supreme Court."

At any rate, I just learned a new word.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
One entry found for defalcation
Main Entry: de·fal·ca·tion
Function: noun

  1. archaic: DEDUCTION
  2. the act or an instance of embezzling
  3. a failure to meet a promise or an expectation
