I heard about a new book he has coming out at the end of September.  I heard about him filling in for Rush Limbaugh.  I have heard that he submits work to the Western Standard but I must admit, I have never read a single copy of the Western Standard.  A friend of mine with a subscription submitted me for a free copy which may entice me to get a subscription, but I am still waiting for that copy as of the time I write this.<\/p>\n<p>Today, while surfing my usual haunts, there was a link at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dustmybroom.com\/?p=4398\">Dust My Broom<\/a> to an hour long interview with Mr. Steyn which was done on C-SPAN a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>With today being a cloudy, lazy Labour Day, I decided to take the hour of time and watch &#8230; and boy am I glad I did.
