I miss Rick Mercer. Still, quite funny, though not really much new here.

22 Minutes - Rick Mercer = Not Funny.
Mochrie has his moments on Whose Line, but he's an improv comic, not a satirist. Nothing comes close to Mercer's rants...

If anybody has some server space where I can put the converted AVI file, let me know. It's pretty funny. "I'm sorry we burned down your White House in the War of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it. It looks very nice.

Hmph. No kind server donors, then? Well, I've put the video up on my slow-ass KaZaA connection. Feel free to download it; please share it so that others can find it. There are also a couple of Frontline and All Things Considered RealMedia-converted-to-a-useful-codec episodes that I'm serving. I thought the MeFi crew would appreciate them.
