Mark Steyn's Stack of Stuff
April 1, 2011



Author and cultural commentator Mark Steyn filled in for Rush on the Open Line Friday edition of the show. Rush returns on Monday.

"Al-Qaeda calls Hillary Clinton the 'Old Lady of Malice.' Moussa Koussa is known as the 'Envoy of Death.' It's like King Kong versus Godzilla." -Steyn
• Bloomberg: Libya Rebels Seek Cease-Fire as U.S. Vows to Withdraw Jets

• USA Today: Amid Region's Unrest, Al-Qaeda Makes Inroads in Yemen
• Telegraph: Libya: Of Course Moussa Koussa's a Bad Man, but He Can be a Force for Good

"It looks as if the US under Obama is serious about this business of taking a backseat in the Libyan conflict. It will be interesting to know whether Khadafy, when he's making his calculations, thinks that's a good thing or a bad thing." -Steyn

• WT: Europe Relies on U.S. Power Again
• WT: Obama's Islamist Middle East
• WP: Syria's ''Reformer''

• CNN: March Jobs Report: Jobs Gain, Unemployment Falls
• Rasmussen: 57% Okay with Government Shutdown If It Leads to Deeper Budget Cuts

"What kind of country is this going to be when 23-year-olds want to work for government -- not just because that's where the big money, the big benefits and the big health care plans are, but because that's where the lifetime security is? The American Dream now is to work for the DMV!" -Steyn

• WP: Pressure Grows to Rein in Compensation at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
• NYT: Report Criticizes High Pay at Fannie and Freddie

"There's nothing caring or compassionate about giving out all these entitlements with money that is yet to be earned by children that have yet to be born. That's actually immoral." -Steyn

• NYT: Missouri Halts Extension of Pay for Unemployed

"You have to look at what liberals do, not what they say." -Steyn

• LAT: Why Should Writers Work for No Pay?
