Rick Mercer's Blog (read it if you want to laugh and learn)

Hilarious, intelligent, sharp and Canadian; all of these words describe Rich Mercer and his blog. It is a recount of all of the rather ridiculous but still wildly funny current political events that have taken place within Canada. In it, his strong and sarcastic almost character like style tells of such tales as being with the troops during Christmas in Afghanistan and even goes as far as to accuse, in a light manner, the conservatives of trying to change the constitution because they find it too liberal.
I think his site is the closest thing conceivable to the aims of this blog. It zeros in masterfully on Canadian politics and delivers a biting commentary that is not soon to be forgotten. It takes on the Senate, the Prime Minister, our multiple political parties and washes the dusty frame with which we are used to viewing them through and instead makes light and comedy out of clearly strange situations. There is no blind faith or politically correct reporting, but instead wild theories that delight and often impart valuable information. It sometimes spans decades, goes into history but also manages to go into thorough detail on many important topics provided.
