More fun and games to idle away your valuable time: click here to check out the new online game "RockStarter: Create your own damn band."
I promised myself I would stay away from writing about the California Governor's recall race as no smart-ass or sarcastic commentary I could come up with would trump the absurdity of what's happening out there right now for real but when this came up about Arnold Schwarzenegger on the "The Smoking Gun: Archive" yesterday, I couldn't resist. Of course, all sorts of nay sayers are coming out of the woodwork trying to undermine Arnold's "candidacy" by unearthing this old interview from 70's adult magazine Oui. My take on this is that first, the mere fact that he's even running what both he and, more amazingly, much of the mass media consider a credible candidacy, it's unlikely that this interview will affect that perception. Second, if George Bush, as a perpetual failed businessman, draft dodger and reformed cokehead and alcoholic can become president of the United States without anyone seriously calling him on any of those issues, there's no reason why Schwarzenegger shouldn't have the opportunity to skate through and do the same on a state level in California, right?
Ah, Californians and their fetish for electing B-movie actors governor. Here's hoping this is one trend from out West that doesn't go nationwide.
