So when is Governor Groper(tm) going to call in the Natl. Guard

for that big-ass fire flaming away in California?

Begging other states to help is amusing, but not exactly a sign that he's on the ball.

Of course, Californians chose him above 137 other candidates... what the hell were they thinking? Or were they thinking?

2. He's not the governor yet

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no official power whatsoever.

9. at least

we don't have to listen to him talk about "terminating" the fires or some equally idiotic one-liner reference.

10. "Begging" other states

for help is more the rule than the exception. In fact, many of our fire fighters are now returning from blazes in Montana and other places out West. It's been going on that way for years. It's not begging, it's "teamwork". And Arnold doesn't have shit to say about it until 11/17/03.
