#1 Gadzooks, this is going to be more fun to watch than the Cairo "peace talks."

Where's the popcorn?

I'll take Steyn to win by a standing TKO in the third inning...what's the overs and unders?

#2 I encourage all of you to do your own research on the “hockey stick” and Mr. Mann and make your own minds up whether you can believe everything either one of them says. And, I guess, that goes for Mr. Lyons, too!

Or anyone else on the left too?

#3 Kind of depends on how much damage Steyn did representing himself at the trial court. Could be very hard to come back from.

#4 Marilyn - he only represented himself very briefly, and during the interim after parting ways with a joint defense with National Review and before he retained a defense team. I believe he only filed a brief or two, neither the original answer, nor, interestingly, the most recent counter claim in which his counsel argues for a swift trial and damages from Mr. Mann.

However, his opinion columns have been his own throughout, and with his distinctive approach to events.
