Rick Mercer has a blog. And while he doesn’t post that often, it’s usually worth reading.

During the Christmas season, he’s been in Afghanistan and his most recent post has quite a bit of detail about his visit.

If you’re not signed up to get his blog feed, consider doing so. I recommend it.

Mercer has been one of my favourite comics for years, thanks to such great stunts as his on-line petition to have Stockwell Day change his name to Doris and his hilarious “Talking to Americans” segments for the This Hour has 22 Minutes comedy show on CBC TV.
