The Govonator
Not since the high school quarterback was crowned homecoming king have I seen such a bullshit popularity contest. The only difference is that in five years this retard won't be pumping gas at his father's station. Instead he'll probably be making a move for the senate. Governor Schwarzenegger, what a joke. I'll admit there have been times I thought it would be a good idea to have Arnold as governor, like after getting drunk and watching "Conan" or "Terminator 2." Then I'm reminded that Arnold used to be cool and now he sucks, like after watching "End of Days" or "Terminator 3."
I'll admit it, most of my friends voted for Arnold. Despite the fact that he refused to be part of any public debate that wouldn't provide him with the questions in advance, Arnold got my friends vote for one simple reason. They thought it would be hilarious to tell their friends and/or relatives back home that they voted for the terminator. Hell three different people left their best Arnold impressions on my answering machine today alone. At this point there's not much to do but get drunk and watch "Predator."
Arnold is governor for the same reason I don't post pictures on my site. There is nothing more important in this world than reputation. I have no doubt that if Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson were to run for office they could win without ever taking a stance on a single issue. Short of giving a speech concerning the social benefits of eating Irish babies, nothing could stop them from winning by a landslide. Wanna know why there are no pictures of my face on this site? Because if this site ever got popular I'd become "That guy who couldn't get laid" for the rest of my life. Reputation both creates and destroys people. You wonder why child stars end up insane or drug addicts? Reputation. After the ten thousandth stranger walked up to you and said, "What chu talkin' 'bout Willis?" How long do you think it would be before you started shooting black tar heroin? I actually thought that Arnold wouldn't win because I didn't think someone could be voted in based on celebrity status alone.
Guess I was wrong.
