The Governator

Welcome Comrades,

Hurray! Hoorah! The Governors race is coming to town! What a fine race it will be!

The Golden State hates it's leader, Gray Davis. Even his name is wishy-washy! Gray... reminds me of the time I lived in Seattle. Yuck. So, now, we get to give him the boot! People are getting fired right and left here in California; why not the Governor? Unfortunately, it's not a lay-off, so someone's going to have to take over the position. Gee, who would want a thankless job like that?

Apparently, lots of people. At least, 135 legally sanctioned candidates. By now, you all have heard about the Hollywood line-up, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Larry Flynt, Arianna Huffington, Gary Coleman... Bill Simon lost to Davis last year in a record low turnout at the polls. Of course, it was low! There were no famous people!! Indications are that, this time, more people are planning to vote on Oct. 7th. America is so predictable at times, but in a celebrity-addled country like ours, fame-worship is an art-form in California. It's Arnold's race to lose, really. Sure, he's an actor with no experience in government, but that doesn't mean he can't do the job. Look at Jesse Ventura. Don't make me mention Reagan. Remember what a great job he did for the economy? How bad could Arnold be?

It's a socialist tenet that the worse things get, the more steam goes into the movement. So, I say give the public what it wants. Hail Conan the Governarian! The revolution is right around the corner!

Hasta la vista, Baby,

TVD
