Discovering you was a red letter day for me! I’ve actually just subscribed to PJTV, mainly so I can have access to all of “Klavan on the Culture” any time I want. I’d send every one of them to the few lefty friends I have left—but they wouldn’t find them funny, would they? And all the facts you provide would just bounce off their misinformation-filled heads. I get City Journal via email and was delighted to see your “Empire of Silence” article last evening. I’m going to see if my local bookstore carries “Empire of Lies”. If not, I’ll order one from Amazon—today. Why am I so NOT surprised about what your French publisher has done? (But I’m very sorry.) I’ve been a fairly politically involved conservative Christian and my experience, for over three decades, is that the MSM have done their underhanded, mean spirited best to slander/libel/label and silence people like me. (I talked back, even went to some Press Council hearings, but got swatted away like a gnat. As you might imagine: Facts: what are they?) Because of heavy hitters like you and PJTV, the MSM’s nasty web of lies is beginning to unravel. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. (I really appreciated your interview about this with Bill Whittle.) Thank God for the alternate media: as the MSM-Obama spin machine has gone into total overdrive (even here in Canada: our lefties LOVE Obama), I think I’d go mad without the blogosphere and Fox News. I watch Fox every night and am hoping and praying that Canada will have its own version—Sun TV—before too long: our conservative politicians—we have a minority Conservative government, which has some very reliable members—are totally shafted by our media up here, except for the National Post newspaper, which Conrad Black started. God bless you, Andrew. Laughter is the best medicine, and you keep it coming. Deo gratias! Andrew, this is a fan letter. Discovering you was a red letter day for me!

There WAS the obvious oscar snub when Nolan didn't even get nominated. It was hilarious reading all the lefty op-eds come out yelling, "it made a billion dollars so who cares about the oscars, shut up, stop pointing out the truth" and then lavish praise on james cameron the next year for his $2 billion lefty revisionist film. Bruckheimer gave an interview on Fox a few days ago saying if you make money they don't care if you're conservative in Hollywood. Really? While we're on the subject of Nolan, is he a conservative? I could care less, his work speaks for itself, but I'm wondering how Nolan and his brother's fascination with philsophical issues of reality, control and catharsis add up to TDK. “His career was nearly destroyed”

Too bad for France--they're gonna miss out on a great summer read. Good luck suing the pants off the French publisher, too.

There's a certain irony to liberal media censoring this book; maybe they'll ask Mr. Klavan to take a Rashid class to refine his cultural sensitiviy.
