Stay in your lane, Governor

Governor Not So Bright

While brutal winter weather has brought holiday transportation to a standstill in Great Britain, and massive snowfalls are pummeling the west coast, outgoing California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is lobbying for a job in the Obama Administration to work on Global Warming, oh...excuse me, Climate Change.

In Great Britain, millions of travelers have been stranded in a “third-world” travel nightmare in airports and train stations all over the nation. The London Mail reports, “Heathrow, the country’s major international airport, is still effectively closed two days after the last heavy snowfall. Substantial parts of our national rail network are still struggling with deep snow, and there are abandoned cars to be seen on hard shoulders all over the country. More snow is expected today, especially in the north.”

Snowfall in Great Britain is a rare thing, and no figures are published for average snowfall. Snow does fall intermittently in northern and eastern areas, Wales and higher elevations, especially in the mountains of Scotland. Snow rarely lasts more than a week before melting.

Northern Ireland has experienced record low temperatures this week. One gent, quoted in the Mail said, “I can't remember a time when so much snow has lain so thickly on the ground, and we haven't even reached Christmas. And this is the third tough winter in a row. Is it really true that no one saw this coming?

Meanwhile, back in the states, Governor Schwarzenegger’s own state is being inundated with unusual winter precipitation whether it is heavy rain in the central valley or foot upon foot of snow in the mountains.

And yet California’s formerly republican governor, the husband of Kennedy niece Maria Schriver, is hoping to find employment by carrying the global warming, er climate change water for the Obama Administration.

While seeming to ignore the recent stories proliferating in the news confirming that global warming is a contrived hoax and that record cold temperature are being experienced all over the world, the governator continues to carry the torch for the environmental left. “I'm a big believer in environmental issues," Schwarzenegger said, who added that he wanted a post where he could use his "celebrity power … knowledge and experience" to impact public policy. "I've traveled the world. … I'm very familiar with the world."

Familiarity with the world is a good thing, governor. A measurable IQ would be pretty handy as well. Maybe you should get back to something you do well.
