Uh, this is the text that link leads to: CHARLES TAYLOR HEADED FOR CALIFORNIA Says He Has Signatures, Filing Fee Moments after stepping down from the Presidency of Liberia today, Charles Taylor shocked the world by refusing exile in Nigeria, instead boarding a direct flight to California. While Mr. Taylor was evasive when reporters asked what he planned to do in the Golden State, the ex-President made a veiled reference to having "the signatures and filing fee necessary" to accomplish his immediate goals. Mr. Taylor's remarks were widely interpreted as a signal that he intends to enter the California gubernatorial race, facing off against actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gary Coleman, as well as various porn stars, circus freaks and the pundit Arianna Huffington. With Mr. Taylor en route to California, the Schwarzenegger campaign wasted no time in going on the attack, giving little doubt that the former "Terminator" star sees the former Liberian dictator as his primary rival for the statehouse. "Charles Taylor lacks the movie experience necessary to govern this state," Mr. Schwarzengger said during a campaign stop in San Diego. When asked if he intends to continue attacking Taylor on the campaign trail, Mr. Schwarzennegger replied, "I'll be back," the nine hundredth time he has used that catchphrase in his five-day-old campaign. Embattled Governor Gray Davis, meanwhile, argued that the influx of porn stars into the gubernatorial race could mean that California's booming pornography industry might face a "dangerous" shortage of onscreen performers in the near term. But Hank Barzo, Chairman of the California chapter of the American Association of Pornography Producers, said that his organization was aggressively recruiting new porn stars, many from the ranks of former politicians. ** 'WHO MOVED MY SOAP' – NOW IN ITS FOURTH PRINTING! ** Every convicted CEO from the Hamptons to Malibu is reading "Who Moved My Soap?
