So Ronald Regan was a fair to middlin' hack western actor before became governor and later President of the United States right? So why am I have such a big deal wrapping my mind around the concept of Ah-nold running for public office? The guy has been politically and philanthropically active, putting his political huevos on the line for years now. And this has been going on for a long ass time, so what's the big whoop?
May be it's because I can't get images of him blowing guys to bits in Commando, slicing and dicing infidels in Conan the Barbarian (Librarian?), and weilding double rail guns in Eraser? All the while dropping the corniest one-liners. Still he is making some valid points and trying to back it up. Furthermore, if he can indeed remain true to his policy of not taking money from anyone and as a result dodge their political influence, I think he could be a force to be reckoned with, date I say a la Total Recall?
On a different side of the Ah-nold story, I awake every morning to this radio show on 107.7 (the only station my old POS clock radio will pick up) to the DJ's doing prank calls using different sound bites of Arnold in his movies. At first it was really annoying, but I have to admit it's getting pretty damned funny! They're using clips like "Who's your daddy?!", "You son-of-a-bitch!!!", "I want to talk to your mother." They must have different one qued up, for different responses people have, but overall it's so damned funny!!
