I find it impossible to take seriously any news article that contains the phrase: the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It's the sort of thing futuristic fiction writers would put in their novels as a sign of the absurdity of their created world. I mean, really. My mind can't handle him as a politician - I half-expect him to reach behind his back and pull out gigantic laser guns in the middle of a boring conference, and then there'd be third rate special effects and the mexican representative would be killed by sniper fire. So Schwarzenegger would stand up, and yell, (and somehow not get shot) and then, like, go shoot some aliens or something.
And, ya'know? What would aliens think, if they were learning about us from our TV, and could only see the pictures? I think they would run far, far away. (Come to Canada, guys! We'd be all respectful of your alien-y-ness and give you free Mountie Hats!)
Um. Yes. I can't decide whether the articles I've read always have the whole thing - the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger - because the newspeople find it as funny as I do, or if they honestly think people are going to forget; and be all, "Pfft. What do we care what an actor thinks about healthcare. Haven't even seen any of his movies on TV lately."
I'm just saying.
