The Governator-elect

Well, I voted no recall. So did all nine Bay Area counties. It's those fuckers in Orange County and the rest of SoCal and their conservative voting that got us into this fix. I think the next step should be secession. We have North Carolina and South Carolina, North Dakota and South Dakota...I want North California and South California, damnit. Of course, the aforementioned conservative pig-dogs need our water to support their ecologically-inadvisable lifestyles and so it will never come to pass.

Here's Ah-nold, quoted in Studs Terkel's 1980 American Dreams: Lost and Found:

"[America] is the country where you can turn your dream into reality. Other countries don't have those things. When I came over here to America, I felt I was in heaven. In America, we don't have an obstacle. Nobody's holding you back. . . . California is to me a dreamland. It is the absolute combination of everything I was always looking for. It has all the money in the world there, show business there, wonderful weather there, beautiful country, ocean is there. Snow skiing in the winter, you can go in the desert the same day. You have beautiful-looking people there. They all have a tan."

Well, yippee for him, I guess; just sucks to be the rest of us. Why couldn't he run for something he's more suited for, like head of the California Tourism PR Board?

As N said this morning, it's a good thing he can't run for President. PTL for small mercies, I guess.
