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."
