Hopefully he's used to rejection by now...Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish Prime Minister, was selected the next secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in a surprise reversal of an awkward political deadlock Saturday afternoon.
“We all agree and are unanimous in this nomination,” said Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, the current secretary-general.

NATO to Peter MacKay: We're just not that into you

What's interesting about this development is the choice now facing Elizabeth May.
She would have loved to run in a by-election in Central Nova, but now the only one available is in New Westminster-Coquitlam, BC. Her comments to the Halifax Chronicle-Herald of the other week that running out west was not "as palatable" to her, elicited a bit of a bad reaction out there, so she's going to figure out whether to break her promise to run in a by-election, or pick up stakes and move across the country.
Elizabeth May: 14 minutes and counting.
