#1 I guess the Hollywood celebs who flee Amerika after Bush steals the election will feel right at home in London.

#3 Swap the Hollywood idiotarians to the EU in exchange for their best scientists and entrepreneurs.

They get our celebs who cannot tolerate the frustration of living in Bush's America; we get their brainiacs who cannot tolerate the frustration of EU bureaucracy, underfunding and economic and tax obstacles. Deal?

#4 Then the film people can opt for French citizenship, and French culture will become the wonder of the world. Win/win, indeed.

#5 Absolutely. Look, the EU brain drain is already a huge trend. Their best scientists are disgusted with EU academic politics and bureaucracy and have been coming here in droves: better funding, much more freedom, lower taxes and plenty of entrepreneurial opportunities for the ambitious.

I'm just trying to accelerate an existing trend. And also get rid of our most annoying idiotarians in the process.

#6 lex - Given the poll results, it seems the brain drain is substantially complete. You can cherry-pick the remainders, but I believe your campaign is a smashing success, already!

#7 Excellent work, Agent Lex. Now for your next assignment, see to it that Mr. Arafat remains in Paris.

#12 I liked Dracula in Van Helsing, myself.
