Oh, All Right, I Will Talk about the Governor’s Race

Or, rather, I will quote other people being witty about Ahnold. This is from Omaha.com.

Rise of the political machines

There’s no truth to the rumor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Warren Buffett will be starring in “Twins II: the Sequel.” But Hollywood’s “Terminator” and the “Oracle of Omaha” are now partners in politics. Buffett is a financial and economic adviser to the action movie king’s campaign for governor of California. The two have things in common, including both having screen credits (what, you forgot Buffett’s cameos on the soap “All My Children”?), as well as sharp differences. Here’s a guide to Hollywood’s hottest new couple.

Arnold’s wisdom: “Hasta la vista, baby.”" (“Terminator 2″).

Warren’s wisdom: “When acquisition costs are similar, we would much prefer to purchase $2 of earnings that is not reportable by us under standard accounting principles than to purchase $1 of earnings that is reportable.”
