Be afraid
It appears that Michael Ignatieff, king of the Decents and savant idiot extraordinaire (as they say over there, in the bits where they speak French), is being given a decent shot at becoming Prime Minister of Canada.
AW(i'WoD') readers who are members of the Canadian armed forces and who do not have the taste for being shipped off at the drop of a hat to a third world country in order to hang around being shot at for no easily explicable reason, are advised to bear this in mind when considering the pros and cons of re-enlistment.

I'll be first with the gag about draft resisters having to flee to the US...
Wondrous snark from Rees - I laughed out loud more than once. I particularly liked Rees's entry in the Summarise Decency In A Sentence competition:
You dumb-asses who were right about everything for the wrong reasons, instead of wrong about everything for the right reasons. You lose.
(OK, two sentences.)
That's quite an epic bit of snark, isn't it?
What I liked about MI's political career is that the Liberal hierarchy imposed him on one of their safest seats in the whole of Canada, which he promptly turned into a marginal. Seems that Toronto suburb was full of Ukrainians who weren't keen on being represented by a Tsarist aristocrat.

The majority did fall, but in the last election it was around 6,000, so not quite marginal.
Rees is the author of the "Get Your War On" comic, and his entire archive of Huffington Post articles is enjoyable reading.
Since "idiot" can't be the adjective in French, English or Franglais, shouldn't it be "cretin savant extraordinaire" or something similar?
