my name is Arnie
and I will terminate
all your problems

my favorite thing
is fight the color gray

it makes my day

and my pocket book feels better
because the people like me
even though I
have no idea what I will do next
except that I won
so now I have to do something

I am stronger and better looking
and more popular
but I'm not really sure
what the next step should be
and  I never balance my checkbook
my wife does that
but I will trim the fat from the budget
the same way I trim it from a roast beef
and I will find some way
to make
everbody happy

I am the terminator
but now I must learn
how to be
a beginner

I'm wondering the same thing Kacy,
how does he plan to pull this off exactly!

Hurray for Hollywood isn't going to work this time.

It's a tired slogan after all~

"A" my name is Arnie.
"S" is for the ssssssss in "ass".
Another politic in "carny"--
marriage of the blarney--laughs

"A"--America is good.
("S" is for the sssssssss in "ass".)
"I have been misunderstood."
(and didju catch the tits on that???)

He must have charmed them with his smile.
(Maria is now looking pinched.)
I think that is the way they met.
(We'll find out soon enough on "E!")

Another revolution spun--
publicity
an apex stunt
watch the doctors
spin again--
handing him a script
bold print--
a finger motioning the girl--
"turn those cue cards slow."



Hugs you.

Thanks, Crystal. This scenario leaves me scratching my head.
yo, Lori! politics is so bizarre, and this particular scene should have hit the cutting room floor
KAREN! I'd LOL at your reply 'cept it's too early in the day for me and too close to the truth. What's he going to do when the opposition challenges him? TERMINATE the bloody fools? All kidding aside, I am totally nauseated over this political scene.

aw..I was just pleased to be able to make fun of someone ELSE's Governor for a change...(La. politics has been fodder for the comedians for YEARS--actually, I can just say "La. politics has been fodder.")



Lub ya, YOU.

Great political poetry!



Personally I have always thought: 1, Kalifornians eat way too much granola for their brains' development; and, 2, the state probably should be broken up into four units, three separate states and one UN protectorate.

This is marvelous...BRAVO!!!!! And I think Arny would enjoy it too.  Actually I was glad to see that the beautiful state of California elected a man and his lady that look the part...now we have something interesting to focus on, eh?  ~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~S~

LOL, yes, Arnie definitely looks like a man in charge. and

And from my teenager:
"He can't be any worse than any of the previous governors." Yep, a vote of confidence for politicians and actors alike.

LOL, yes my friends, 'tis a brave new world.

Hey Dunc! Only in CA eventually means only in USA. Or have you forgotten that other actor already? The CA platform is just a temporary stepping stone.
On the other hand, remember Jessse Ventura?

Kacy, this was very good!

Well, we’ll, just have to see what happens next...

Oh and by the way, since Arnold wasn’t born here,
he can’t follow Ronnie’s lead and run for president...

Although, I did hear something about Orin Hatch (R) Senator Utah
attempting to get that law amended. I haven‘t seen or heard anything
concrete though?

So... who knows right???

This could be just the beginning, of one heck of a ride!


Hold On!  

lol
