I would consider the founding fathers nerds. They read material that today would be considered the liberal fringe (Thomas Paine). Even if someone like Pat Robertson would read Thomas Paine, he would immediately pray for God to smite the evil. They would also probably be atheists today. Many were deists such as Thomas Jefferson. Deism decries the miracles in the Bible as false, but used reason to validate the existence of God. With the evidence today, the founding fathers would be behind reason to argue that there is not God. Jefferson didn't really believe going to church was necessary. Jefferson also founded a university and was into architecture so he designed it, which is pretty nerdy. I'm sure you guys can think of other examples, such as with Washington. I just know most about Jefferson.
NPR reported that Sarkozy has been consistently involved with intimidation to achieve US-like conservative goals.
Science magazine has been covering this election greatly as well because Royale was a strong proponent of funding science. Sarkozy, similar to Bush, could really care less (although Bush puts up a false front about caring). This election will probably end up being bad for France, but Royale's own inexperience and bad ideas prevented her from being a favorite.
Unfortunately, there is no current way to model a real brain. The connections are too complex and numerous to even begin to do so. Among individuals the connections also differ significantly, which makes a consensus model even harder. We might be able someday certain to mimic certain structures, as a research in California is trying to mimic the hippocampus using circuitboards. The hippocampus is one of the major targets affected by Alzheimer's disease, so replacing it with a circuit would be one potential way to alleviate memory loss from the disease. It is a huge task still, but apparently he has had success. Probably the most difficult part will to be to copy an individual's connections (essentially copying their memory), as everything differs from person to person (nobody has the same memory).

Einstein gave us much of the theory to build the atomic bomb. Venter is giving us the technology to manipulate life as we know it.

I would have had trouble voting in a foreign language as well.
In conclusion, humans are delicious.
Now that they've developed a taste for human flesh there's no stopping them.
This idea really isn't new. I've been training employees for zombie attacks with video games for years.
if only they would find the miRNA that silences the america v. world debates.
