FACLC the minor SteynOnline celebrity

Extremely minor, I suppose.

PS All that said, I'm inclined to agree with this bit from the LawIsCool whiners:

But this issue seems to have also sunk to new depths. For example, this commentator states,

$500 says “LawIsCool” …are in fact a couple of homosexuals in Toronto

They say that as if it would be a bad thing.

Indeed. I'd rather be "a couple of homosexuals in Toronto" any day than a gaggle of Osgoode Hall law students in their present incoherent condition.

The $500 bit was mine (not being on my site, I altered my usual rules for naming faggots). What isn't expected is the LawIsCool posters quoted that bit out of context. What isn't expected is that Steyn didn't look for it (and that he seemed to hold the statement in disdain, having already cheered Kathy Shaidle for calling the Osgood law dropouts "fairies"). My full comment on Jay Currie's site reads as follows:

$500 says “LawIsCool” aren’t actual lawyers, have stolen the legal-related posts from some other blogger’s RSS feed, and are in fact a couple of homosexuals in Toronto who enjoy making Muslims seem completely off the deep end.
I don't know, I think the deleted sections (highlighted in blue) might perhaps of some applicability...

Update, January 20 2008 6:38pm: My $500 comment is really making the rounds: it is now a discussion post at timeimmortal.
