Hi Jay,

Re: The Michael Jackson sideshow is on full. It may turn into the debacle that the OJ Simpson show did.

George Bush certainly hopes so:

Distraction is a hallmark of the psyops campaign now being waged against the American public by the Bushies.

Re: The Arnie California Show is up next

Arnie is meeting stiff resistance in the Legislature from both the Left and the Right. His bond scheme is meeting a lot of opposition, and his hand picked financial guru from GOP central casting abruptly walked out of a meeting with legislators when she couldn't handle the tough questions.

And what of Arnie' rhetorical style? Here's a fun quibble about his Inaugural address:

"In his inaugural speech, incidentally, Schwarzenegger said he was repealing the "300% increase" in the car tax. The car tax had been tripled, which of course is a 200% increase. This may sound like nitpicking, but isn't anyone alarmed at the thought that Schwarzenegger's people, drafting an ostensibly epoch-launching speech, allowed a simple arithmetic error to go through because the bigger number might have sounded politically more rousing? Are they going to do all the budget math this way?"
