Russ,

I'm a bit brain dead after a weekend pig pickin', so I thought I'd throw this semi-whimsical question your way: What do you think Arnold Schwarzenegger entering office will do for the California agricultural and restaurant industries?

[russ parsons]

Like there's any money to do anything with? I don't really see it having an effect at all. There's very little government involvementin edible agriculture anyway. They're too busy propping up corn and sugar. Growers of fruits and vegetables get almost nothing. And besides, that's the feds. Who are broke, too.

Think of the wonders it will do for Planet Hollywood though. Doesnt Schwarzenegger have an interest in it?

[russ parsons]

Is that still around? Well, if people will buy a burger from them, they'll probably vote for Arnold, too. He actually owns/owned an Austrian restaurant in Santa Monica called Schaatzi. Of no particular repute.

Looks like they closed the LA and many of the US locations though.

it'll probably end up like Jeremiah's Stars chain: one disco in Manila.
