What's 100 Years...Really?

Every newspaper and television news show in Canada seems to be making a big deal out of this story today:

Michaelle Jean will become Canada's new Governor General today in a special ceremony on Parliament Hill replacing outgoing Adrienne Clarkson. Clarkson will also be attending today's service -- marking the first time in more than 100 years that an outgoing Governor General is present at the swearing in of a successor.

Big deal. Why is this on the cover of every newspaper? Because it hasn't been done in 100 years? Is that why? So what.

Skizzabilldoobot fuckwad macgeezer.

I'll betacha that's the first time anyone's ever made up that sentence. EVER. Think I'll ever get the cover of the Globe and Mail.

Not bloody likely.
