790...Mikey I Makes The New Yorker

The New Yorker is a magazine that serves that town and Barbara Jaffe in this morning's Calgary Herald and Vancouver Sun doesn't think that being profiled in said rag benefits the next Prime Minister of Canada.

She posits that being profiled in MacLeans is a good thing, sells Michael Ignatieff at the Tim Horton's and the Legion; being profiled in The New Yorker in an article called "The Return of the Native; A public intellectual remakes himself as a public servant" is not so saleable.

Still, the next PM makes a good point in the story, as reported by Ms. Jaffe, and that is, I am paraphrasing, Canadians don't really care about the intellectual capacity of their leader, their PM, as much as they care about his trustablility and integrity.

Who would you rather have babysit your kids?

I thought so.
