Once upon a meme, many people inquired about what guilty pleasures I indulge in. I maintained, and still do, that I really don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures. I still do, for the most part. Nevertheless I will confess one guilty pleasure:

The Rick Mercer Report webpage, located here. I always watch it when I should be doing other things, like, say, now, when I should be working on my thesis. Sometimes instead of just watching the little clips from the most recent shows, I'll go look through things I've missed in the archive and poke around other bits of the site.

Canada has great political comedy shows. I do't know if the US really has anything quite like it, or like This Hour Has 22 Minutes, or Air farce, or, going back to the old days of Radio, Double Exposure. That was the first show that got me hooked on this style of comedy. Anyway Rick Mercer is love. Most of the sketches from this week are pretty good, too :D I actually went to see if he had any amusing commentary on the cabinet crazyness, but alas, no. Can't have everything, I suppose.
