Either the governor of California has the sense of humor of a high schooler, or the profanity gods have joined forces to help Arnold Schwarzenegger send a curt message to a political rival. In this letter meant for assemblyman Tom Ammiano, the Governator explained why he vetoed funding for San Francisco's waterfront. If you look closely, you notice that the first letter of each line spells out a phrase that effectively gets the overall message across.

"Well I think that they say that Rush Limbaugh is the 800 lb. gorilla in the Republican Party. But I think that's mean-spirited to say that — because I think he's down to 650 lbs.

Forget that it's 1973 and Arnold Schwarzenegger is on The Dating Game. When he gives his measurements (he was Mr. Olympia, so this is when he was buff) and asks the woman what they have in common, her answer is something you should never say to a man. Just listen .

Thanks to California's $42 billion budget deficit, residents who have overpaid their taxes in 2008 won't be getting a tax refund in the foreseeable future. Now, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has plans to extend state sales taxes to more services as a way to raise funds.

From the crazies who brought you The Obama/McCain danceoff, it's Governator Ahh-nuld Schwarzenegger himself as the Songinator! Gospel music, '60s folk songs, German nationalist music — there's nothing this guy won't tackle! (May I request some Kraftwerk and Rammstein?) In any case, because his performance is reminiscent of this character's, I fully sympathize with the children who run screaming from the room during his lullaby.

Word on the street is that Barack Obama plans to create a "climate czar" position to lead his administration's climate change and energy policies. But Al Gore, the most likely candidate, has already said that he doesn't want the job.
Perhaps Al Gore either didn't want to fill out that cumbersome questionnaire Obama is passing out to potential appointees, or saw the position as a demotion from vice president.

Back before he governated the state of California, Arnold starred in B-movie gems like Hercules in New York. If you can't figure it out from the title, it's a classic coming-of-age story that combines Greek mythology and professional wrestling. In this clip, Herc takes on a man in a bear suit.

Seven western US states and four Canadian provinces have agreed to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 15 percent before 2020. Proud of the Western Climate Initiative, Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger asserted:We’re sending a strong message to our federal governments that states and provinces are moving forward in the absence of federal action, and we’re setting the stage for national programs that are just as aggressive.
So how will Arizona, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec curb climate change?
