Before we all settle down to see what humiliations Michiganders have chosen to inflict on which frontrunners, here’s a quick detour down under. The great Janet Albrechtsen – with whom I had the honor of sharing a stage in Sydney a year ago – writes in The Australian on some of my little legal difficulties up north. Terrific opening:

It was one of those rare, particularly sunny days in Vancouver in September when, addressing an audience at the University of British Columbia, I suggested that multiculturalism and its partner in crime, moral relativism, were leading to the demise of Western values.
“But you must understand,” implored a well-intentioned woman in the audience, “multiculturalism is Canada’s gift to the world.”
If Australia is set to follow Canada, then thanks, but no thanks. Call me ungrateful, but we should have returned the gift to Canada long ago. I say that as someone who has long adored Canada. Its politics may be as dripping wet as Vancouver, but the people are warm and funny, and there is something sweet about the US’s insecure, slightly wimpy northern neighbour. Yet there comes a point when weakness morphs into a reckless death wish.
That point is about now.

Just so.
