Last Action Hero


Apparently our governor wants his term to be a little bit more like an action movie. It seems he has learned from such films as "Terminator" and "Kindergarten Cop" that if he threatens people things will get done the way he wants them to be done. And ok, I see his strategy: be so outrageous something has to happen, but really, it makes all of us peons working for the state feel lame about ourselves. I don't actually think I'm going to lose my job but it's still annoying I have to worry about it at all. Anyway, good luck fellow dispensables!
