Yesterday I began reading Mark Steyn’s new book, After America Get Ready for Armageddon, and like everything Steyn writes, it’s like horses coming out the gate at the Kentucky Derby, grabbing your attention and hanging on from the first word.

It’s a perfect follow-up to America Alone, which he wrote a few years ago, and so far very much worth the read.

This is a writer who has a total grasp of the realities of where our country is heading, and he breaks everything down with his usual humorous twist — in the reviews on the book, Ann Coulter sums it up perfectly when she writes that “Only Mark Steyn can write about the decline of America and leave you laughing.”

I’m already more than halfway through and will probably have finished it by late tonight or early tomorrow, and thus far what I’ve read makes me recommend it completely.
