Well, Jesus Christ, Arnold is governor. It'll be interesting to see how bad he fucks this up. Maybe I'll start paying attention again in a couple months.


My Other has taken to listening to talk radio. Says that this is in order to figure out how they think, what their arguments are, what their reasoning is. It's painful, but it's fascinating to my Other in the same way that the religious channel is. I suspect that I'm reaching the point where someone like Bill O'Reilly or Sean Heannity could say "the sky is blue" and my first instinct would be to argue with him. But they just lie so much, to the point where it hardly seems legal. Valerie Plame, just an analyst? How do they get away with this? And Bill O'Reilly has this whole "I'm just a plain old regular guy lookin' out for you, the little guy" schtick that's more pathetic than annoying, until you realize that people are actually buying into it, at which point it becomes rage-inducing. Ugh.
