Happy Birthday, Baby...Here's looking to next year ;)

Now, on to our regularly scheduled post -

T4: Election Day

MSNBC Breaking News
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to run for California governor

Imagine my surprise when that little news bit showed up in my inbox. First Jesse Ventura. Now Arnie. Next – Carl Weathers? We’d have just about the whole cast of “Predator” in office. It would sure make politics fun again, though. The Senate could work out its differences with cage matches or paintball wars. Although, if Arnie is elected, I’m dreading his re-election campaign. I don’t know if I can handle a year of the following:

Announcer: “Governor Schwarzenegger has balanced the budget & cut the state’s deficit

(Cut to “Conan the Barbarian” clip)

He’s implemented tougher penalties for drug offenders.

(Cut to “Commando” clip)

He’s set higher standards in our schools.

(Cut to “Kindergarten Cop” clip)

All of this in his first few years in office. But, he still has much to accomplish.”

Arnie: “Vote foah me…(leans forward, left eye glowing red) & Ah’ll be back!”

Why do I keep hearing “It’s the end of the world as we know it…”?

The Fantasy Candidate List (partial credit to Tim & Kevin):
Webster – They’d need to fit the Governor’s chair with a booster seat, though
Chachi (Joanie Loves Chachi…but then, don’t we all?) – Chachi In Charge! Chachi in ‘03
Mr. T – Puttin’ the “T” back in California, foo’!
Gary Coleman – With Mr. D as his financial backer & Todd Bridges as his enforcer…er, I mean, campaign manager
Mindy Cohn – Mrs. Garrett would provide goodies
Tootie – Tootie in ‘10

My choice though?

Chi Chi Rodriguez – just to hear Peter Jennings say “Chi Chi” on national television.

This just in: apparently, Gary Coleman has expressed interest in running. As has Gallagher. Yes, that Gallagher.
