I've been meaning for a while to write something about Arnold Schwarzenegger's election to the governorship of California, but find myself stymied each time I begin. This isn't at all like seeing some album you know is wretched perched atop the Billboard charts, or some similar movie inhaling the box office. This is the real thing...or is it the unreal thing? Has Philip K. Dick taken his revenge upon us from beyond the grave? (PKD was a nearly lifelong Californian, remember.) Arnold Schwarzenegger, a human special effect with no political experience at all, will be governor of California, the most populated state in the nation, simply because he oozes charisma. The United States deserves every hateful insult that overseas countries can devise. You want Schwarzenegger's curriculum vitae? Well here it fucking is. What have you done, you damned Californians? What on earth have you done? You know, until very recently, when I had bad days on this side of the country, I still used to fantasize about jumping in a car and driving non-stop till I got to California. You know, to make my life over and everything. I've been to the Bay Area and it's stunning. But you know what? No fucking more. And since California's now likely to get bailed out with Federal $$$ courtesy of W. Bush, people will say Schwarzenegger's done a great job, too. I hope that fucking state breaks off and sinks to the bottom of the Pacific. |
