Long National Nightmare Over
If only Roger L. Simon’s promise to move to France weren’t tongue-in-cheek. But Clark Stooksbury offers an alternative:
Isn’t this a missed opportunity? Simon, along with Reynolds, and dozens of other bloggers and pundits supported policies that have turned Iraq into a paradise on Earth. They should move there. I know I would chip into a few dollars to help Simon, Reynolds, the gangs at the Corner and Townhall relocate to Basra or Baghdad.

Given how ACORN done gone and destroyed the very fabric of our democracy, moving to the greatest finger-dying democracy evah seems an obvious choice.

They have other options: Kosovo, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Georgia are also among the lucky recipients of W’s beneficient gaze.

I get so tired of all these “I will leave the country if my candidate loses” threats. Sure, leave the country. I wait with glee to hear that some of these folks have renounced their citizenship and no longer derive the significant benefits of an American passport while they’re at it.
Having said that, where do I kick in for this effort?

They could always move to Russia. Bush looked into Putin’s soul and saw that he’s a good man.

How about starting a wingnut blogger / pundit relocation fund, which would offer a grant to selected individuals if they decide to actually move? Sum would depend on target country – say, $2000 for France, $25000 for Timbuktu, $50000 for Iraq (Red Zone), $100000 for Bouvet Island etc.
If no one would take those offers, money could be given to appropriate charity organization.

If you keep this up, the wingnuts will declare themselves a protected group based on their political inclinations being at least 50% genetic and, therefore, not a choice.

This is even funnier than when the right wingers had a fundraiser to help Barbara Streisand move to France!

Why move to Russia, when you can move to Wasilla?
Also, I am up for starting a drive to convince Russia to buy back Alaska. Take their money (700$ million), give them another separatist province with which to deal (reducing our need to play bellicose toward them, since they’ll martial energy will be committed inwardly), & be done with it. Make Puerto Rico a state, even (no need to change the flag).

I think Bush should be made permanent under secretary to the American ambassador in Baghdad,
Sow and ye shall reap, or something like that.
Whats this shit with France? Ever been there in the summer? Its full of Americans.

I love France, and plan to visit it again in few months. I doubt, however, that Joe le Plombier would love it.
Besides, the whole idea is to make them disappear – I would spend some money to relocate certain people to, say, Barbados, if they would then spend less time with their keyboards and internets.
