One day and ticking.....

Post by Knife »

Till the California recall election.

As it stands now, on the polls; Davis is canned and Arnold is the new govenor. Granted his stats a slipping slightly after his 'confession' but I don't think they'll slip enough to fuck him.

So what nastie political trick do you envision will be unleashed today? What perdictions do you have for tomarrow? Thoughts? Comments?
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I dunno. I dont think there will be any nasty surprises today. It is too late for either side to drop a bomb. Being Monday almost everyone who will vote is at work, not paying much attention to the news.

I plan to vote no on the recall but not sure about governor. I might just leave it blank. Only Cameo and McClintock have had the balls to say what they believe both on TV and the papers. Cameo is a way to the left and McClintock is way to the right. Perhaps I will vote for McClintock to thwart Arnold. I dunno though. I will let you guys know to tomorrow what I do.

Go Schwarzenegger!

I just want his speeches to have movie references.
"Governer Davis, you're terminated."
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

It is the guy from the group that sings "We're not gonna take it!"

Uh...Twisted Sister. That's the group. It's an 80's thing which is kinda cool cause Durran Korr is not an 80's guy. :)

Meanwhile in the Davis camp;

"We're not going to make it."

"NO, we're not going to make it."

"We're not going to make it, anymore."

Whenever I think of Arnold singing that song, I laugh for some reason...
