You may be asking yourself, "what's wrong with the current leadership in the great province of Alberta?" But you could also ask yourself why you would bother looking up the answer, as to find out such an answer, you would need to read. As in books.

Alberta has long needed the voice of truth to carry them to greatness, and that voice is the true embodiment of Truthiness, Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. Here's just a few reasons Alberta should get in line, and start honoring Stephen now:

HE HAS POLITICAL EXPERIENCE!
- Not only did Stephen run for President of the United States in 2008, and serve as proud Governor of South Carolina for a record-breaking 40 second term, but he was totalitarian ruler of the African state of Malawi from 1982-84!*
* claims disputed

HE HAS ROYAL QUALIFICATIONS!
- Stephen was knighted King Of The Colbert Nation by Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, by the mighty sword of Aragorn, Andúril!

HE HAS OTHER QUALIFICATIONS (AND CAN PRESCRIBE VICODIN)!
- Stephen has received a Doctorate of Fine Arts from Knox College, is an Emmy and Peabody Award winner, and has had his portrait up in the National Portrait Gallery!

HE HAS HAD ALBERTANS ON THE REPORT!
- Stephen has many ties to Alberta: he has hosted Calgarian Feist many times, once featured Premier Ed Stelmach (view in Canada or USA), and even has a new Albertan Black Friend!

HE SHAMELESSLY TOOTS HIS OWN HORN!
- Stephen has so far had his own: NASA treadmill, spider species, sea turtle, baby eagle and OHL hockey mascot named after him...can his own sovereign territory be very far behind?
