Disgusted

[catscradle]

I've been pretty much ignoring the California re-call election stuff, as I find it a farce in democracy. I'm all for getting rid of a bad politician in office, and lets face it, Gray Davis was indeed bad. And it's too bad we can't do a re-call for the 2000 presidental election, but this case has been so mismanaged that it seems little more than a ruse to get a republican in the governor's seat. Serious cadidates are being ignored in favor of people like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Debate questions were being given to candidates ahead of time so they could prepare their answers, and many candidates weren't even being invited. Arianna Huffington just dropped out of the race because she could no longe cope with idiocy that rivaled Gray Davis' governence.

So beyond pop-up headlines, I didn't pay attention. Afterall, I'm not from California, so why should I care? Well, I went to Democracy Now and came across this article. Be afraid:

Democracy Now: The Terminator As Predator? A Look at Arnold on Sex, Abuse, Drugs, & Women

In addition to the hate group involvement and sexual harrassment issues, there is the ominous overtones of Schwarzenegger being used by the republicans to help carry the state for them in the 2004 presidential elections.

There's also some stuff on Maria Shriver that will just leave you thinking "WTF woman!?"
