- On the boneheads track,
- When he was just a pup, young Arnold put down a plan for himself that
- basically went something like: get huge, be a movie star, & marry a
- glamorous & intelligent woman. Well, against all odds, the guy did it.
- That takes a certain level of dedication, planning, & brains which not many
- people match. How many actors seem to be off to decent starts, choose
- 1 too many bad movies, & find themselves confined to the discount rack of the
- video store? Arnold chose the right vehicles & turned himself into a hugely
- popular figure. For that matter, Maria Shriver, from what I've heard of her,
- is no dolt - I doubt she would opt to spend the rest of her life with a
- sputtering idiot, no matter how much money he makes (like money's a concern
- of hers, anyway).
- As for the political jibes, well, I don't think it's right for me to express
- my political views, one way or the other, on government time through a govern-
- ment machine.
