ahhnuld still vants to PUMP YOU UP!


I was hoping I could find a reason to post this hilarious picture I found last week. Forget that it's a Photoshop nightmare and Arnold's faces is totally out of proportion, its the pose that really counts and monkey boy's creepy little E.T. foot reaching for Arnold's dagger? (errr)

Today Arnold got in some trouble. Here is the official story:

Fitness Mag Lines Arnold's Pockets

(AP) Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger receives $1 million a year as a consultant to a company that publishes fitness magazines, a deal critics say is a serious conflict of interest for the former bodybuilding champion. The payments, revealed Wednesday in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, are from American Media Operations Inc., a subsidiary of American Media Inc., the company that publishes fitness magazines including Flex and Muscle & Fitness and the gossip titles National Enquirer and Star. Critics say the contract is a conflict of interest because Schwarzenegger's pay comes from advertising revenue and the magazines often feature ads about dietary supplements. The governor last year vetoed a bill that would have imposed government regulations on the dietary supplement industry.


So let me get this straight, Arnold works for a magazine that features ads that sell dietary supplemets. He then vetoes a bill that would allow regulations on dietary supplements. Not that shady political dealings are any shock at the moment, but what is funny to me is Arnold perpetuating the Austrian meathead persona that Dana Carvey so excellently captured on Saturday Night Live and that Arnold was dumb enough to parody himself by calling California democrats "girlie men." It's not like he really needs the extra $1.million a year. He, Maria and all their offspring's offspring are set for life so why even bother with it. Does he not see the conflict of interest here or does he think he can emasculate the source who reveals it?

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
