It didn't occur to me that anyone would do that.

He's not quoting himself, see my other comment.

It seems to be a pattern for all their columnists. You can see for yourself if you click the "Columnists" link near the top. It's a Sun tabloid, is it not? So this is the tabloid equivalent of branding for a radio personality.

He's not quoting himself, that's how the Sun stylizes the titles of all their opinion pieces.

National Post does it quite similarly: puts the name of the author ahead of the title.
