A good laugh

A certain facebook poll pointed me towards Rick Mercer's show "Talking to Americans," which happily is available on Youtube. I've seen it before, of course, but it's comedy gold even though it's about nine years old.

I've been laughing long and loud.

The best part is when he gets governors of various states to congratulate Canada on absurd things. For example, he got Mike Huckabee in Arkansas to congratulate Canada on preserving its national igloo. The bits at Harvard and Princeton, where politics and history students sign petitions against the Toronto Polar Bear Hunt, are simply priceless.

My favourite memory from that show was the "climbing the Peter Mans Bridge" episode. LMAO I used to watch it religiously.
