Did you see the veto letter Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent to the California legislature? It contains a hidden message. (Follow the letters down the left side.)
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature.
For some time now I’ve lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
kicks the can down the alley.Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Ha ha ho hum. What a poser. I posted a comment about it on a blog but got nary a chuckle, so I’m reposting it here to hopefully elicit the laughs it so richly deserves:
Hey, if I wrote something like that
everyone would be mad at me.
Seems unfair.Arguably, it’s not very professional.
Just because he’s governor, he shouldn’t
expect everyone to be amused by his
regressive personality quirks. My
kids are better behaved than he is.
See–anyone can play that silly game, Ahhnuld. Do grow up.

Ill mannered with a questionable past. Schwarzenegger also posed nude for homoerotic photog Robert Mapplethorpe at least three times in the seventies and famously appeared naked in a 22-photo spread in now-defunct gay rag After Dark. I liked your letter better.

ACK!! Too much information–ROFL!! Oh boy. The guy must’ve been desperate for money. I can’t believe that wasn’t plastered all over his opponent’s campaign ads. (Or maybe his opponent was worse?)
The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed him openly as well… Many do not seek the truth, they just vote the party ticket.
Who is left anymore? Seriously. Are you an anarchist? I spent a lot of time last week in an enlightening discussion with one. I used to think voting for someone was better than voting for no one, but now I’m questioning even that. It’s no earth moving decision, but it does bring some measure of inner peace to change one’s paradigm like that.
I had to look up ‘Log Cabin Republicans’ as I’m not well versed in all those factions. It wasn’t what I thought it was! But anyway, I wanted to tell you about this interesting book I’m reading right now. It’s called Lincoln Unmasked by Thomas DiLorenzo. It eviscerates what the author calls the “Lincoln myth”: that Lincoln was anti-slavery and pro-freedom. It approached him from the angle of the Constitution. You end up thinking Lincoln was a real bully and tyrant. I choose it for my book club so I’ve got a little trepidation about our upcoming meeting. Even when I first put it out there, they reacted intensely!
This past year I’ve read about a lot of things I happily never noticed before. {sigh} It ain’t been pretty.
A bit of an antidisestablishmentarianist, but anarchist, no. I believe in the Republic, the whole Republic. States separating, will only be followed by the owners of old taking them back. The President of Mexico has been very vocal about this for many years, and Russia is still smarting about how we burned them over Alaska.
The Log Cabin Republicans got their name from the relationship between Lincoln, and Joshua Speed.
Yes, Lincoln was no saint, as the protector of the Constitution during the war. And today, Sherman’s march to the sea would be a war crime. But these things were cast on him because Europe needed us destroyed before Lincoln returned us to sound money. Re-read what I wrote on stimulus and funny money at the DailyBail.
History is always written to make our leaders look like Nietzsche’s “overman”, but in the end, they are just men, with faults, and weaknesses like us all. Many times, more so than the rest of us…
All part of the divine right of Kings, I suppose.
Is it just me, or is Gobias a educated idiot.
The whole “overman” exchange was very interesting. You obviously know your niche–er, Nietzsche.
Gobias is angry and worried, like the rest of us to whatever extent. I think when we are angry we latch on to some thoughts, regardless of how tenuously linked to our true concerns they may be, and can be extremely stubborn with them. We wrongly feel that the acceptance of a particular thought somehow provides justification for our anger or fear. It’s all displaced.
Gobias doesn’t manage to push any of my buttons. For some reason I more feel empathy for him. But there are challengers I’m drawn to on other blogs.
Plus he is often off topic. But then he comes up with some terrific links or comments. Eh….I dunno.
I will definitely re-read the stimulus/funny money comments.
You should start your own blog. Your reasoning is very well thought out and written. A lot of people would benefit from it.
Pay close attention to the quotes from Lincoln, the Hazard circular, and Mary Todd’s comments. Thomas House was a agent of European banking interests that was backing the Confederacy to bring down America before the dream could be realized. Slavery became an issue later in the war.
Gobias doesn’t manage to push any of my buttons neither, It is more like a cat playing with a mouse. That is probably wrong, but his racism and sexism irritates me. And what he did to Spidey set me off, I really enjoyed Spidey.
I am sorry I don’t understand the fear thing, I haven’t felt that emotion for many years. I don’t know about the blog thing, I am not really that computer literate. And have a lot going on trying to prepare things up for my grandson and grandaughter, who are innocent in all this madness, but were put into this mess by the same people who point at others.
None of this happened overnight… It has been a very long range plan, as I have been trying to show others.
Lincoln (R) and Kennedy (D) both tried to right the wrong, and both payed with their lives, and both are reviled by many still to this day. Because the masses have always listened to those who seek to destroy them, instead of those that know…
All we are, is crabs in a pot.
It is bigger than the FED as well…
What did he do to Spidey? I’ve seen Spidey around DB lately. He has great comments. Ken is the one who drives me batty. Thank goodness for the scroll button.
You make the bankers sound like they are immortal somehow. I don’t mean to make light of the situation, but they are made of the same clay as we, after all….
Are you just a history buff, or do you have a background in it? It is not common to run across people like you. I’m not so sure any one group can plan a major upset (as even my home owners association cannot agree on one item of action per year) such as a world government, but then again I am just one of the crabs in the pot
It HAS been getting a bit warm lately.
Steve (DB) and Spidey were disagreeing on something back in August (it was kind of petty, he felt Steve was pandering to Gobias on the Obama citizenship thing), Steve tried to apologize, and Gobias pounced hard on Spidey in his full arrogant “I am overman” sort of way. Spidey said he would never return, several of us tried to dissuade him, and he hasn’t returned until now. I guess you missed that, he did say bye to you and I and a few others.
I have been popping Gobias’s bubble ever since, for an overman, he has not been to difficult to run over. Sometimes if I am bored I bait him, I know he cannot resist good bait. He is a creature of habit, understanding habits is key to a good hunter.
I use the scroll button a lot with Ken to, LOL.
History buff, completely self taught. My background is in electrical engineering and the last couple years doing ERT work, since my job does not require the travel I used to do.
No, the bankers are not ” immortal”, they pass the agenda from generation to generation, just as the IRS would pass a case file for a tax evader from a retiring agent to a new one to continue the chase. In the end only the evader grows old and weary, the agents are continually “refreshed”.
Not the dreaded homeowners association, LOL, where I live (20 minutes from Brookville Lake, IN on the Ohio border), you can still enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like peeing in the front yard, LOL.
Many people do not get the crabs in a pot thing, you must have spent time on the coast.
“It is not common to run across people like you.”
There are many of us, most choose not to speak publicly, out of distrust. I have had one foot in both worlds for a long time. But even I turned semi recluse after years of fighting the establishment. Til recent events have rekindled the fire…
“…for an overman, he has not been to difficult to run over.”
ROFL!!!
