Had fun talking with my Mom last night. She is a kick in the pants. She's been a yellow-dog Democrat for ever and a day, and she even voted for "that crooked lying son of a bitch Gray Davis," because the Republican running against Davis was "even worse."
And now she says she'll vote for Ah-nold.
"Oh God, Momma, what? Why would you do such a stupid thing like that?"
"Honey, this state's government is a circus. I'd much prefer the strong man to the clown."
"But Mom, every movie he made he kills someone, and, and... his dad was a Nazi!"
"If I have to listen to some dunderhead who doesn't have a clue, and none of them do, it might as well be Mr. Universe."
"But he cheated on his wife..."
"That's their business, isn't it."
"But Mom, he's a Republican."
"Well Gray Davis is NOT a Democrat, this much I know. And if Ah-nold is elected maybe there'll be a movie called Total Recall. Oh wait, he already did that, and saved the planet, too. Honey, sure he is clueless, but so is everyone else, about the magnitude of problems in this state. But he's married to a Democrat, he's smarter than Ronald Reagan, he's a hero-figure when we desperately need one, and he looks good on tv. I'm happy about the recall, I think that's what it's all about. While we're at it we should recall that squirmy lying little Napoleon idiot in the Whitehouse, too. Maybe Paul Newman would like that job."
