Time to examine the cold, hard facts of whom is more deserving of your Canadian Blog Award <\/a>votes: the comedian, published author, TV personality, philanthropist and national cultural icon – or, well, me.<\/p>\n

I think a head-to-head comparison will prove illustrious.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: biting sarcasm.
Me<\/strong>: biting preschoolers.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: mocks <\/a>Americans.
Me<\/strong>: loves Americans. USA! USA!! USA!!!<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: high profile friends<\/a>.
Me<\/strong>: world’s best bloggy friends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: supported by the deep pockets of the CBC<\/a>. **
Me<\/strong>: unsupported. (Well, mostly<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: no blog comments allowed.
Me<\/strong>: lives for comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: prone to rants<\/a>.
Me<\/strong>: prone to rambles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: obsessed with Photoshop<\/a>.
Me<\/strong>: obsessed with Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: political satirist.
Me:<\/strong> potty satirist.<\/p>\n

Rick Mercer<\/strong>: thousands of rabid fans.
Me<\/strong>: two <\/a>fans, occasionally prone to drooling.<\/p>\n

Oh look, I win!! (But you can go ahead and vote<\/a>, if you were going to anyway.)<\/p>\n

** Phew, it’s a good think I never signed up for Ad Sense. The pennies-per-month click-thru revenues would have probably exceeded Rick Mercer’s budget from the CBC and left me the underdog in this category.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
