News from the homefront

That's it. I'm officially declaring myself not a Californian. There are just no words.

Well, folks, it looks like Hollywood is the new state capital of my home state. All hail, Governator Arnold. It's like getting a Kennedy but without any of the good bits.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get a change of residence form and become a citizen of Alaska.

What?

I am confused.

The politics here make no sense. How can an actor from another country be a governor?

I'm still trying to figure out if The Governator is funnier than when Minnesota elected Jesse Ventura, ex-pro wrestler. :)

I do not think I want to know.

We should have 'em fight it out. Think about it. Two middle-aged ex-musclemen duking it out over who's the more laughable governor. :)

Hey, we had an actor as president not so long ago. He was American, though.

As for the "from another country" thing, he has American citizenship now. I think governor's as high as he can go, though.

Ooooh. I didn't know he was living here.

I thought French politics were silly, but this is just bizarre.

Although, we had bigoted jerks running for President of our country who wanted to get rid of everyone who wasn't French, and everyone who was a mutant.

He didn't get into office though. I think it was because he was a jerk, not because France loves mutants or anything.

California always seemed a bit crazy to me anyway. Must be something in the water. ;)

Ooh, Alaska. Hey, if you go ice-fishing, bring a book or radio or something. Not as fun as it sounds. ;)

You know, I just realized that I think that I'm still a resident in Neveda since that's where I was adopted...can I come with you? Defiantly need to change that!

And don't you want to pick a warmer state then Alaska? I don't see you as a heavy parka and snowshow shoe kind of gal.

Yeah, not so much with the snow but in Alaska you can't become governor unless you were born in the state.

Warmer would be better though. Any suggestions?

Hawaii?

You had to know that was coming...

Of course, I did.

Sounds marvelous. When do we go?
