Gov. Schwartzenegger’s Super-Secret Message, Sealed With a Diss

Hopefully you saw this yesterday while I was doing computer surgery on my computer: a special memo from Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger to the members of the California State Assembly.  It’s a stern veto for some minor, by-the-numbers pork barrel apportionment in the San Francisco district.  These bills usually get green-lighted without second thought.  But the Governator send an admonition instead: quit dithering!  Focus on the issues!  Something about kicking cans down the street!  What could it all mean?  Well as it happens there was a secret hidden message in the letter.  Get out your curse-word decoder rings and peer under the jump to see it.  

Somebody had a slow day at work!  Also, the reporter who dredged this up (who knows how; are there people out there who just scan every government document that comes down the wire for secret acrostic messages?) called the governor’s office – the response was “what a strange coincidence.”

Tangential but not really: another thing you may have missed (it was on ABC last night) but should definitely watch online, is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! 1966 it first showed, but it holds up like the Statue of Liberty.  Peanuts was so bleak, do you remember?  All Charlie Brown gets in his trick-or-treat bag is rocks, and for no reason, except that life is bad sometimes.  ITGPCB is the anti-Tooth Fairy, anti-Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, anti-Cinderella.  Make your children watch it when they’re ready to start growing up.
