No major party finds themselves matched with Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Confeederation aggregates political party candidates in the Canadian federal election →

Rob smartly didn't tie his domain to a subject, that is, he could theoretically use it to also track elected MP's weblogs and other feeds related to the Canadian government.

North Vancouver politics weblog →

Not for the city of Vancouver, but for the district to the north (obviously).

Mena Trott on where the women bloggers are →

In IRC, I once got chewed out for the same distinction she makes, that is, political weblogs written predominately by men and knitting bloggers written predominantly by women.

NPA chooses Sam Sullivan over Christy Clark to run for mayor →

She was an outsider (from Vancouver suburb Port Moody), but I thought she might have had enough name-recognition to beat Jim Green.

Taking Political Celebrities Seriously

February 16, 2003

Adam Sternbergh: “[G]iven the alarming real-life precedents (the unlikely union, for example, of the words "Senator Sonny Bono"), it's not outrageous to expect that C-Span might one day look like an episode of Battle of the Network Stars.”

Also: “When the usual pool of candidates -- lawyers, businessmen, or former prep-school layabouts -- enter politics, they can be blindsided by the sudden attention to every past indiscretion. Celebrities, however, have spent a lifetime spinning, defusing and, in some cases, exploiting their misdeeds. Former pill addict? Check! Affairs out the yin-yang? You betcha!”

No mention of Jesse "The Body" Ventura, however.
