All hail the conquering hero! I for one welcome the glorious age of lunacy, as Arnorld Schwarzeneggar is now right heir to governorship of California. I was dissapointed the big guy didn't hold a huge Conan sword over his head on election night. I sure as hell didn't vote for him. But a whole lot of people did... unbelievable. Real life has gotten too artificial. Well it's always been and always will be, but do they have to be so fucking obvious about it right now? I mean, movie-star governor. Sure, we had a movie-star President a few decades ago, but Arnold Schwarzeneggar as the people's choice? I swear, Donald Duck or Darth Vader or the Easter Bunny could have pulled those kinds of numbers if they were capable of putting their names on the ballot. Arnie is a plastic image, a bronzed Achilles of our cinematic hearts and minds, and he's now governor of the fifth largest world economy. We have this guy until 2007. Even Jessie Ventura got sick of his job a few years in, and was happy to not run again and go back to doing wrestler stuff. I'm already exhausted by the novelty. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-experience my Jingle All the Way DVD.
