Arnold Schwarzenegger...to appear in Salvation! Terminator 4 stars hot-head Christian Bale...

Yawn!

Thanks to Twitter, Terminator scuttlebutt is off-and-running and setting the stage for a much-anticipated star-studded red-carpet premiere next month.


When the Governator was first approached about appearing in "Salvation" (which stars temperamental actor Christian Bale in the lead role in what amounts to a 4th installment of the successful Terminator franchise) the former pumping iron stud thought the project might interfere with his "day" job, according to wife Maria Shriver by way of clandestine tweet.


And, you surmised by his lacklustre performance in Sacramento of late, that Arnold wasn't wiling away any hours in the office at all, eh?

Naw, he's just an effectual son-of-a-gun!

Anyhoo, the director conjured up a great film scenario when the dilemma reared its ugly head.

In the latest plot twist for the Terminator ("Salvation") Christian Bale's character will uncover the fact that Schwarzenegger's menacing persona is actually a "future" terminator ripe for blowing away.

Through the magical wizardry of leading edge technology in the special effects field, the aging Austrian hunk will grace the silver screen by virtue of old footage from the 1st Terminator movie - albeit - artfully touched up.

The studio vows up and down that no one will be able to fathom the difference.

Yeah, right!

I wonder, though, will filmgoers be treated once again to that eye-popping shot of Schwarzenegger dropping to the earth stark naked in the prime of his manhood?

Fans will have to spring for a ticket to find out.

"Salvation" isn't even going to make it to my DVD list anytime soon, though.

Like Arnold, the ongoing theatrical saga has gotten old and gray, in my estimation.

Not even Geritol could save the franchise!

Schwarzenegger...naked to the world! Renters & homeowners enraged that tax breaks failed to make cut in State Budget! Arnold must go!

Quite a few renters and homeowners were in a state of shock when they opened their mail boxes this past week and found a curt letter from Sacramento informing them that they would not receive a check for their annual tax break.

According to the communication, Governor Schwarzenegger axed those funds from the State budget for the 2008-2009 fiscal year ahead.

Homeowners and renters are outraged!

Many were counting on those funds to get them through a financial crisis that has been gaining momentum and negatively impacting citizens around the globe.

Unlike George Bush (for once, I say "bless him") who sought an emergency rebate for taxpayers around the country earlier this year, Schwarzenegger essentially thumbed his nose at California voters.

"Let them eat cake," appeared to be his response when he signed the budget into effect last week.

Notwithstanding, many Californians are shaking their heads over the costly waste of Government resource arising from the Governator's refusal to sign into Law a handful of "bills" that were presented to his office last week.

A handful of the measures wormed their way through various levels of government - at which point - they were approved by the Senate.

The whole process was a costly venture footed by the taxpayers of this great state.

In view of the fact a handful of the bills were worthy of his signature, it boggles the mind to think that at a time when fiscal responsibility is of paramount importance in the Government sector, he chose to veto the measures.

All that moolah down the drain!

I was going to jokingly point out that I hoped Arnold's di** was bigger than his brain - for his and Maria's sake - but a glance at the photo above says it all in my estimation.

For the record, informed sources tell me, he's not even a "grower".

Now that he is naked to the world, I think it is high time the voting public sent the dope-smoking cigar-wielding jar-head back to Austria.

Let him yodel, and beat his sagging chest, somewhere else!


Don't Bogart that joint, Arnold...
