"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

TERMINATOR 4 - RISE OF THE MACHINE
AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE
Automaton actor Arnold Schwazeneger has announced his candidacy ( as a Republican ) for Governor of California.
This after Democrat Governor Gray Davis was recalled ( Total Recall to use another Schwazeneger pun that the media may not of got hold of yet )
We have "recalls' in the Third World too - e.g. Saddam Husseins' "recall" of President Bakr In 1968 - but we call them coups d'état.
Schwazeneger married a Kennedy and now thinks he's a politician.
Um...wrong side Arnie - the Kennedys' are Democrats ( i.e. the OTHER party ).
Furthermore Arnie "your'e no John F Kennedy" but the one advantage you have over J.F.K is that at least you can pronounce "ich bin ein Berliner" and also mean it ( Arnies' from Austria but it's the same thing ).
