I'm not sure I've explained in this space the terrible political ju-ju that seems to follow me:

I moved, in August 2000, from New York City to Minnesota. There I was subjected to the horrible gubernatorial reign of one Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, a vaguely well-meaning but incredibly stupid and egotistical man. Prior to entering politics, Ventura was also a "wrestling" "celebrity" and an "actor." O the humiliation Minnesotans felt when Jesse refused to discontinue that nonsense:

He was hired as host for the failed XFL football enterprise, served as a referee at a WWE wrestling match, and published several books during his tenure as governor. On his weekly radio show, he often criticized the media for focusing on these deals rather than on his policy proposals.

There were other things too, but, in short, he was a fucker.

Then I move from Minneapolis to San Francisco, and yobbo dickwad Californians inexplicably elect Schwarzenegger here. O dear. But this happily led to Salto's Famous-One-Liner™:

My Governors are the fucking cast of 'Predator.'

Minus, of course, that stingy Carl Weathers.

Anyway, did you have any idea that Schwarzenegger was this unpopular?

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suddenly ranks among the most unpopular governors in modern California history, as residents grow increasingly unhappy about the action hero-turned-politician's budget plans and his call for a special election, according to a new Field Poll.

Less than a third -- 31 percent -- of the state's adults approve of the job the governor is doing in Sacramento, down from 54 percent in February. The numbers are only slightly better among registered voters, 37 percent of whom are happy with Schwarzenegger's performance and 53 percent dissatisfied.

Heartening news. Perhaps he should be recalled.
