Eve of Recall Prayer

[quesarah]

Dear Baby Jeebus,

Please do me a big favor tonight; lay your Baby Hands of Divinity on the poor misguided souls who are going to vote for Ahnuld tomorrow. 'Splain to them that being a big tough action movie star doesn't mean he'll be even a decent governor; given his lack of a platform or any ideas about how to run the state it's likely he'll be a terrible governor.

And then, 'splain to them the difference between real and pretend. Ahnuld isn't the Terminator; the Terminator is make-believe. Planet Hollywood is real, though. I learned about all that stuff on Sesame Street. Maybe the people for Ahnuld didn't watch that day.

If that doesn't work lay the Holy Smackdown on them. Thanks.

Your pal,

-bio

Some dude at 24-hour fitness was wearing a black t-shirt that said "Total Recall" and "Schwarzenegger for Governator 2000". What is this, a movie? Oh, no, silly me, it's just the world's 6th largest economy.

I have a Crabby icon. But I am really starting to need a "What the Fuck?" icon, too.

Yeah, and thanks so much for taking this election seriously. Fuckwad.

Was that in Hillcrest? If so I'm shocked and appalled.

No... La Jolla/UTC.

The "Arnold for Governer" bit is usually at the end of our news in the 'wacky' segment. Still, I can't think of the last time people in Australia heard about an upcoming state election (or whatever you call them) outside of our own country. Plus, voting isn't even compulsory where you are. Good-luck.

He's not even the weirdest candidate; the list includes washed-up actors from 70's sitcoms, an "adult entertainer", and Larryt Flynt who's the publisher of Hustler. The whole business is a three ring circus and rather nauseating.

wafflelips and I voted this morning before work. We're just doing our bit to keep the 'roided up misogynist jackass out of office. As bad as Gray Davis (current governor) is portrayed he's taken the opportunity to sign some great legislation, including unprecedent expansion domestic partner rights/responsibilities. If Arnold gets in office, it's almost a given that his Republican cronies will use it as an opportunity to undo all the progressive legislation Davis has passed.

And that would suck.

Ooooh and now you're gonna tell me Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy aren't real either, aren't you?!! Just ruin my entire World of Dillusions why dontcha!

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Hulk smash!

Heh. Santa Claus- fake. Tooth fairy- fake. The Easter Bunny is real, though. *solemn nod*

The Easter Bunny is real, though.

Oh thank god (He's still not real though, right?). I don't think I could have handled all my illusions being destroyed in one day.

(Okay, technically not real. I'm not going to say it out loud for fear of permanently damaging your psyche.)

Harvey the Pooka on the other hand is totally real. Totally.
