NO ON THE RECALL!
Seriously. The recall circus has been fun. I love the fact that Gary Coleman and Angelyne are on the ballot.
But Governor Arnold Frickin' Schwarzenegger?!! This is a joke, right? We've all been "Punk'd," yes? Ashton? I know you're hiding back there. We're on to you.
There are so many unanswered questions to this whole affair. Like, why could people who didn't vote in the fall 2002 elections suddenly get to add their names to the petition to recall the governor? Why isn't anyone upset that Arnold seems to have a problem with women? Or that he seems to have told us nothing about how he would resolve California's budget crisis?
I know, I know. Gray's horrible. And still lacks basic charisma, even when its political career hangs in the balance. Bustamante's arrogant. And McClintock has scary eyes.
But whatever. It's too late for that. The polls may be close, but Schwarzenegger will win in a landslide Tuesday. Call it the "Jesse Ventura Effect." Thousands of people who never vote will cast a ballot today, because (in my best Beavis & Butthead impersonation): "Huh-huh. Yeah. Schwarzengger! Huh-huh!"
Ahnuld will become governor. At least we'll have a fairly interesting show for the next few years, as our new chief exec realizes it's a lot harder to "Terminate" the deficit than simply offering up a few quips for the media. And with Ahnuld still in the hotseat, sex/car chase crazed local TV news outlets may have to keep caring about state politics.
