This NY article looks at how former U.S. President Gerald Ford dealt with the almost weekly lampooning at the hands of physical comedy master Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live.

Here's a quick profile I did for CTV.ca of new Alberta Tory leader Ed Stelmach .

Not that I know the guy personally, but I know that area northeast of Edmonton quite well. My dad's quarter-section of land is about a 20-minute drive from Andrew, which is where Stelmach's farm is located.

That's a pretty damned Ukrainian part of Alberta! (as opposed to being a pretty damned part of Alberta, because of the Ukrainians)

And if you ever go to western Ukraine, you can see why. For my grandparents, it would have been a lot like home.
