Might Shatner Boldly Lead Canada As Governor?
just fiddling around writes "Now that Michaëlle Jean is approaching the end of her customary five-year post as Governor General of Canada, the rumor mill has started on who Prime Minister Steven Harper will propose to the Queen in her stead. According to the CBC, the short list includes Captain Kirk, actor William Shatner. It seems that acting can lead to the highest offices in places other than California."

No, he just has a stricter definition of what constitutes acting. Obviously not that strict, though...

KHHHHAAAAAAAANADA!
In high school there was a small group of miscreants who took the phrase "To boldly go where no man has gone before" to new depths of depravity. To this group to "Shatner" was to eliminate bodily waste in a place where it was presumed "no man has gone before."
One year at homecoming it was reported that somebody had "Shatnered" on the 50 yard line.

Wait, are you saying Arnie's a better actor than Ronnie? Hmm... if you took the ratio of their talent, I think you'd have to apply L'Hopital's rule to figure out whether the ratio was above or below 1. ;-)

Well it appears someone's moderation is working. Must be one of those folks who makes posts on game forums like "It works fine for me. Get a new CPU and video card. Hurr hurr."
however, you are forgetting that the GG is a shallow powderpuff position
therefore, give the shallow powderpuff person the shallow powderpuff position, and give the serious meaningful people you list serious meaningful positions
it would be insulting, as you say, to give a shallow powderpuff a serious meaningful position in spite of other serious meaningful candidates
but it is equally insulting to give a serious meaningful candidate a shallow powderpuff position

well yeah, I'm aware that the GG CAN exert power and I'll completely agree we all want to see Harper and the deceptiCons get theirs for some of the shit they've pulled. But like you said, it's a one shot thing and incredibly unlikely to ever happen for the reason of we LIKE the Queen. She's a classy dame and all that. Plus, we're the only good kid England has left. They kicked Australia out, the USA ran away to start a band and India just sat in its room refusing to eat until mom let him leave. I mean, sure, we may have married that french woman who's always going on about a divorce at all the family gatherings but we're still the good kid. The GG isn't likely ever going to USE that one shot any more than the Queen is to refuse to let a PM resign or accept a new one.
