Rick Mercer in Afghanistan

My travelogues are awfully boring in comparison to Rick Mercer's account of his recent trip to Afghanistan.

For my American friends who aren't in the loop, Rick Mercer is a Canadian satirist, probably best known for his saucy CBC specials, "Talking to Americans." You either love him or you hate him (Hi, Mom!) but he's difficult to ignore. He's an ardent supporter of Canadian troops, and sings the praises of their work in Kabul.
