Angry in the Great White North

Noteworthy people. Must be nice to make that cut.

The NNDB is a database of notable people:

NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.)

But it mostly exists to document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious. A person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with.

Here are some links to profiles I found:

• Stephen Harper
• Peter MacKay
• Paul Martin
• Jean Chretien
• Michael Ignatieff
• Bob Rae
• Jack Layton
• Gilles Duceppe
• Preston Manning
• Anne McLellan
• David Suzuki
• Stephane Dion...uh...Stephane Dion?

Uh, I'm sure they're getting around to it. Unless they figure he won't be around long enough to be notable.

Not everyone makes the cut. They missed Rockin' Rollen Stewart, the guy who for years would show up at sporting events wearing a big rainbow wig.

No wait! My mistake. Rollen is in the database.

Which gives me an idea...

Hey, someone notice me! I'm notable! Really!

Hey, don't sweat it, Stephane. I'm not in the NNDB database either. In case that makes you feel better.
