He may have time to run for Senator.
Now, some of you may not know I vowed long ago that I will only live in states that are or have been governed by cast members of the movie “Predator”. (Jesse has governed me, and Arnold is now.) This means I may have to move back to Minnesota to keep my streak going. Of course, I can always move to Kentucky and hope for a senator Sonny “Billy from Predator” Landham:
Or, I can get behind this:

I’m holding out, waiting, hoping, yes, even PRAYING for the day when I can move to New York and live under the benevolent reign of Governor Bonesaw.
It will, please God, happen someday.

Having lived under Arnold’s rule for awhile now, I won’t settle for any followup governor less than the Predator himself.

I agree. Why wait for Sonny “Billy from Predator” Landham, when the true goal is to live under the governorship of Predator “Predator from Predator” Predator?

I think to get to the non-geek populace, the Predator would really need a kind of spruced up named for campaign ads. I mean ‘Predator’ alone might send up some red flags. I was thinking ‘Galahad ‘Predator’ Whipple’.
Note, not ‘The Predator’, cause that’d sound far, far worse in campaign ads, just ‘Predator’, though only used alone once it is established he has a name that doesn’t sound like some creep who has to identify himself when he moves into your neighborhood. Galahad remains among some strata a byword for chivalric and upstanding, and Whipple sounds earthy and genteel. Once that’s established, and normal, non-insane people like him, and it gets into the time for attack ads, shazam, Predator.

What?! How can a remote controlled spyplane hope to govern California? That makes no sense.

Predator has run for the office before, he just never shows up in the polls.

I wish Arnold was more Conan the Barbarian than Terminator or Predator-style Arnold. Getting randomly pissed one day, so he invades Nevada to take their shining cities’ treasures for himself, slaying those who oppose him in huge numbers, all while eating half-raw meat and screaming in an unintelligible accent like the awesomely crazy Austrian psychofreak that he is. Or was, at least.

If Jesse is dressing for the job he wants, it doesn’t matter if he loses the senate race, he’ll be elected president of Cuba anyway.

I think Carl Weathers would make a better gov. than either Arnold or Jesse. That’s just my opinion.

Cuba will be needing a new generalissimo soon. Billy From Predator’s got the look down already.

Jesse Ventura may have time to run for Senator, but only if he doesn’t make it through the first round in the “Hemingway Look-alike Contest.”

I’d vote for Carl! Unfortunately, the guy who played the actual Predator (Kevin Peter Hall) is no longer with us.

Unfortunatly, Ireland’s government isn’t made of actors.
They act like comedians though!

So is X-men 3 the closest we will get to Bill Duke in the White House?

Reply from Tim on July 10, 2008:
Well, I think we can confidently state that X-Men 3 is as close as we’ll get to Kelsey Grammer in the White House while dressed as the Cookie Monster…

Predator is vastly improved if, while being forced to watch it, you pretend that the Predator alien is the outer space equivalent of a hillbilly on a 4×4 shooting rabbits with an assault rifle.
Trust me on this.

At least Arnold doesn’t believe every video he sees on the Internet, right?

Be sure and do your homework on Billy- he’s probably the only Native American I have ever heard of that speaks at Klan rallies (really), and he has that whole “spent time in prison for brutally beating his wife but that’s all a liberal judicial system that was making it a big deal”-thing that tends to garner attention when one runs for office.
I wish Carl Weathers would move here to Kentucky.
