The Govenator

Before I begin, I need some help:

I can't get a picture loaded onto my profile. I even followed the direction on blogger.

Any advice???

Anyway . . .

I've been holding off on discussing this because of the fires in California. Anyway, I wish the Californians well, but now it is time to chat about The Govenator:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,305797,00.html

You know why "marijuana isn't a drug", according to the Guvanator? Because he SMOKED POT (or smokes pot for all I know). Take a looksie at his "Pumping Iron" documentary from the seventies.

This is my biggest bitch with Schwarzenegger: it's only bad if he didn't do it. From what I've read about Mr. Schwarzenegger, there isn't much he didn't do.

I became irritated with this stuff when he was running for governor the first time and all the steroid/ orgy/ sexual harassment stuff was coming out of the woodwork and he denied it all.

I might be OK with the Govenator if he'd just said, "Ya know, the seventies were a really whacked out time. I can't believe I've survived to regret some of the stuff I used to do."

Or even, "Ya know, the seventies were a really whacked out time. I can't believe I survived some of the stuff I used to do."

But nooooooooooo, Arnold felt the need to rewrite history and turn himself into the golden child, who didn't tell Rolling Stone about his steroid use, the many orgies, and the pot.

By this definition of drug, the Governator has eliminated almost everything with the exception of meth and other chemically created substances. (Meth is chemically created, right???)

He's made cocaine, pot, and heroine OK, as they are derived from plants.

I'm not comparing pot to cocaine or heroine. In all honesty, I don't care about what other people (or cats) do in the privacy of their own homes, as long as it doesn't effect my life.

I'm just saying that anything that impairs judgement is a drug, at least in my mind.

Any thoughts on this???

Some terrorist out there has to be smiling. The Govenator just justified his product.

How ironic.

Your profile picture - right click (or left if you are a left pawed cat) and click on copy image location, then paste into the link spot. Make sure you don't have two http://'s.

As for drugs, yes, I agree, anything that alters your perception is a drug, chemical, leaf, grapes or grain!

I remember that for me, getting a profile picture up was a huge hassle and involved putting up a fake dummy post and then deleting it later--but I think I followed the blogger directions and it eventually worked. Reb's way sounds simpler but I'm not sure what the "link spot" is. Perhaps it's the difference between having a place to host images (which I didn't) versus uploading to blogger.

And re: Arnold--My favorite thing about him is that with minimal googling, one can find pictures of him posing completely in the nude back when he was a bodybuilder.

Don't know why but that cracks me up.

Sorry - link spot - the place where the directions ask you to put the link to your photo

Crabby--

You are so freaking right. All I did was type in The man's name and all was good.
