"Irony sensors. . .overloading."

First, Canadian Muslim groups drag Mark Steyn before their ridiculous Human Rights Commission because they were deeply offended by his assertion that Muslim groups would be likely to drag people like him before silly commissions when offended.

The Future Moscow That Never Was
