Vote for me if you want to live

So Ah-nuld is running for governor of California.

I cannot tell you how much of a fan of this move I am. Seriously, I think this might be the best thing to ever happen to U.S. politics. If he wins, it'll be like a parody better than anything Comedy Central could think up. An Austrian bodybuilder in charge of the fifth-largest economy in the world? Good plan! You thought Jesse Ventura was good in Minnesota? Wait until the Terminator is running California!

Essentially, I think being governor of a state is an important job, and somebody's got to do it, but it's not like you can mess it up SO badly that it can't be fixed. And it's not like things could get too much worse—California is $38 billion in the hole, has no electricity, and is peopled largely by actors and kooks. May as well put an amusing captain on this ship of fools.
