“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Digging his own hole

Don't believe that Arnold is out there working for you, California? Then you obviously haven't heard yet that he was out filling potholes in San Jose yesterday. Of course, they had to make the pothole only a few hours before Arnold arrived, but that hole may still be there if it weren't for our action star Governor.

And while we're on the subject of Schwarzenegger, these two paragraphs from a different article speak volumes about the current state of Arnold:
"We in our state have 36 million people, so when you see a few protesters around, it just shows you what the percentage of people are, really, who are out there protesting. We don't pay very much attention to them at all," Schwarzenegger said.

Schwarzenegger also addressed a poll released Thursday by the Public Policy Institute for California that found that 62 percent of voters are opposed to a special election.

If I've done my math right, using Arnold's population figure, 62 percent is 22.3 million people. And he doesn't pay much attention to us at all.
