Yet another benefit of a Palin presidency

We might see a Hollywood depopulated of pretentious ignoramuses. George Lopez, for example, who says he’ll move to Canada. Savor the unwitting irony:
I like my politicians to actually have a political background, to know politics…Do we elect somebody by their smile? Instead of by their content?
You mean like President Empty Suit, who seems to have been elected primarily because of his costume halo and gaseous oratory? Oh, and because he fraudulently positioned himself as a centrist?

Let me know how your comedy routine works out in Medicine Hat, George.

(Note to Canadian friend Captain Heinrichs: better alert border security. They might want to double the guard).

    Bye, George. I wish I could say we'll miss you... but we won't.

    I thought that the Smurfs preferred Euroweenies?

    Has there ever been an example of these sort of threats actually being carried out? Here downunder we had all sorts of luvvie type back in the days of the evil John Howard regime saying they would leave if got re-elected. He kept on getting re-elected but sadly none of the luvvies ever kept their promises.

    cac: Offhand, I can't think of a single such threat ever having been carried out.

    Didn't some guy actually move to New Zealand after Bu$hitler was re-elected?

    Snowshoe Alberta will be nice in December.

    YoJ: Possibly. I know Alec Baldwin threatened to move if Bush won a second term - which is probably why Bush managed to pull out a narrow victory (and of course, Baldwin didn't go anywhere).

    Dear George.

    Remember, you want the 101 NORTH.

    Medicine Hat is much too 'country' for anyone from Hollyweird. I lived in southern Alberta for 3 years as a kid, went to the dentist in the Hat even after moving back to Montana. The winters are brutal, the people self-sufficient. Send him to Ontario, where there's more "culture."

    What makes him think Canada would let him stay?

    And Numbers-Boy shows up to demo his spud-peeler's expertise in world affairs; he represents an unusual apparition: service associated with the RAR, but not quite a Digger.

    As for Mr Lopez, two years in the Saguenay, followed by permanent residence in Iqaluit.

    Cheers

    Why is someone who got rich in the US by being Hispanic/Mexican choose not to go south? Well, George, one question, why wait? Vaya con nada, Jorge. Arriba. Leave your citizenship at the border. Remember, it's a one way trip.

    Maybe he could talk all his Hollywierd friends into going with him.

    I hope he has a lot of friends!
