Author vs Narrator

Arnold Schwarzenegger held a conciliatory news conference (and his now disembodied ass) where he expressed regret for blowing at least $40 million in public money, hundreds of millions in private money, months of everyone’s time, all for a special election that has instantly converted him into a gristle-bound lame duck.

“If I were to do another Terminator movie, I would have the Terminator travel back in time to tell Arnold not to have a special election.”

The confusing thing: who exactly is the “I” in that sentence?

More importantly: who is the “governor”?

Freedom on the March

In an effort to fight terrorism (no, seriously), Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has proposed an array of expanded intellectual property laws to Congress. Some of the highlights include the right to wiretap suspects in intellectual property crimes, and to make it a crime to attempt to infringe a copyright.

“I look forward to continuing cooperation with our government to protect America’s ideas and innovations.”said MPAA chairman and CEO Dan Glickman.

In other news, a basic removal of the SonyBMG spyware rootkit from a PC will probably render the computer useless and require a complete system reinstall.

But it must be this way. To fight terrorism.
