Political Tidbits and Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell is calling for an increase in the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7 an hour.
- Governor Rick Perry's re-election campaign has set its guns on Kinky, calling him a "flip-flopping politician." Kinky's camp responded by stating that he was offended by being called a politician.
- A representative of Chris Bell has called Kinky a "cokehead" and the Kinky camp responded by calling Bell "irrelevant."
- Sen. Arlen Spector's bill authorizing warrantless wiretapping has stalled in the Senate due to opposition from both sides of the aisle. This shocked us too.
- A recent Senate report shows that Saddam Hussein did not have "relations" (Bush's words, not ours) with al-Qaida, and in fact viewed them as potential threat. The funny thing is we all know this and nothing is going to change. Funny, huh?
- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks that Cubans and Puerto Ricans are naturally feisty and temperamental due to their combination of "black blood" and "Latino Blood."
