Très Bizarre: Arnold Schwarzenegger Creatively Drops F-Bomb

TresSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:30:00 -0700

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.

California to Eliminate Funds to Domestic Violence Shelters

They don’t call him the Terminator for nothing.

The governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, decided that one way of dealing with California’s budget crisis is to eliminate - not reduce - state funding for domestic violence shelters. The state’s budget for agencies that provide domestic violence services is typically $20.4 million. Agencies braced for a 20 percent reduction but had no idea how bad it could be.

A spokesperson for Catalyst, a nonprofit organization which provides, among its many services, a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter for victims of domestic abuse, counseling, a children’s program and legal support, says their volunteers are still in shock. 35 percent of their budget relies on state funding, and now it’s gone.

"We were bracing for the 20 percent cut,” said Executive Director Anastacia Snyder, “but did not believe the governor could, with a clear conscience, cut 100 percent of funding for services that keep women and children safe and alive." (You can go to Stop Family Violence if you’re a California resident and want to find out ways to take action.)

This is going to be devastating to some of the most vulnerable women and children in California. What do you think about Schwarzenegger’s decision?

Matthew Takes His New Project and Baby Joy to SF

PopSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:00:39 -0700

Matthew McConaughey was joined by Michelle Obama, Jon Bon Jovi, and others at the National Conference For Service and Volunteering in San Francisco yesterday. Before Bon Jovi took the stage to perform, MM shared a few words about his j.k. livin' foundation and new baby on the way. He said,

"We are putting after-school fitness and wellness programs into underserved communities nationwide, teaching physical fitness, nutrition education, with an emphasis on daily gratitude for how much or how little we have. And now that I'm blessed to be a father myself - I got one at home [Levi] who's 11 months and as you people know, we have another one in the oven, three months - this foundation and its cause means even more to me."

We've got several months to wait before MM's new addition is here, but it sounds like the proud papa will be keeping us updated on both his family and his personal projects along the way.

Steve Jobs and Friends

GeekSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:28:46 -0700

Today, the highly anticipated iPhone 3G S makes its way to stores nationwide. Another year, another new iPhone, which is expected to woo gadget enthusiasts. Although Mr. Apple himself - Steve Jobs - was absent from this year's keynote address at WWDC and is said to still be working from home, I've decided to dedicate a slice of today to him. Because in all honesty, no matter how hard we try (or I try), it's impossible to forget about the man wearing the signature black mock turtleneck. And with that, I bring you Steve and friends.

Say What? Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks Smack About Rush

TresSugar — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:39:20 -0700

"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. I think one should be fair to him about this whole thing."

On CNN yesterday, the Republican governor of California sounded a bit like Rush-hater Keith Olbermann. Anyone think Arnold might switch parties soon? Who could be surprised? He's married to a Kennedy, after all.

Flashback: Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Dating Game

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:00:00 -0700

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 . . .

Politicians Roast Obama Behind His Back at Gridiron Dinner

CitizenSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:01:24 -0700

VIP politicians and journalists got together to poke fun at President Obama behind his back last Saturday, at the annual Gridiron Dinner. But it's not like the Prez wasn't invited! Obama was the first president in decades to skip the Gridiron Club dinner during his first year in office. He opted instead for a quiet trip to Camp David with his family.

Here are some highlights from the "off the record" fun:

Joe Biden: Axelrod really wanted me to do this on teleprompter -but I told him I'm much better when I wing it. I know these evenings run long, so I'm going to be brief. Talk about the audacity of hope. President Obama does send his greetings, though. He can't be here tonight - because he's busy getting ready for Easter. He thinks it's about him.

Biden: Now let's see: we have a Republican speaker who was born in Austria, and tonight's Democratic speaker was born in Canada. Folks, this is Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare.

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm: (Sarah Palin) really set back the cause of hot governors. You know where I'm coming from, Ed Rendell.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: You (the media) did such lovely work for (Obama). You put your lives on hold to put him in the White House. Now you get all dressed up, the champagne's on ice, and you find out he's just not that into you.

Do you think Obama regrets staying home?
