The madness of King Adam

OK, to stop this blog featuring far too many posts about Adam Yoshida, I promise that, following this post, I won't mention him again until after Easter, regardless of what craziness we get. But, I couldn't let this posting by him to soc.history.what-if go unmentioned, specifically this paragraph where he details his unsuccessful campaign for his local school board in Canada:

I care deeply about education and I hoped that I'd be able to sock away enough of the salary to allow me to go to an American state school. By this time I'd pretty much given up on living the rest of my life in Canada.

I know, listing all the reasons why Adam didn't get elected would take a hell of a long time, but I'd have to suggest the whole 'vote for me to deal with your education, and to show how supportive of it I am, I'm pissing off elsewhere to get mine as soon as I've milked enough cash from you' part of his platform wouldn't have gained him too many votes.
