California Dreaming

Hasta La Vista

Austrian born one time body builder turned all action movie star Arnold Schwarzenegr today ends his tenure as the Governor of California. While it is arguable as to whether he or Ronald Regan were the most famous of the thirty-eight incumbents of this position, what is unquestionable is that it was Arnie that declared his candidacy with one of the most unorthodox pronouncements in American political history. Appearing on the high profile US TV show 'Tonight' he disclosed the soul searching he had been wracked by while pondering whether or not to run for office when he revealed 'it was the most difficult decision of my entire life -except the one in 1978, when I decided to get a bikini wax'. Highly Questionable? marks the passing of 'the Governator' with today's quiz which takes as its theme the State he ruled.
