Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa yesterday for a campaign fundraiser with his big green and orange RV.
Last night I had coffee with a friend that attended the event, and my buddy was saying that Schwarzenegger told the crowd that he wanted to see cranes all over the State of California.
“The birds?†I asked.
“No…stupid,†my friend said.
“A machine for hoisting heavy objects?â€Â
My friend thought that I was being a smartass, but I truthfully couldn’t understand why the Governor would want to see either type of crane all over the state. As a person that depends too heavily on the not so fluid under construction 22 freeway, I couldn’t understand why any politician would announce amusement in having more in-progress construction projects.
“Maybe he meant Ken Crane stores…you know, that place that sells audio equipment.â€Â
“No, idiot. He meant that he wanted to see more development in California.â€Â
Well I still think it would be funny to see those heron-like birds walking around like stray cats.

Hate to agree with Arnold. I want to see cranes around CA as well.
I know construction sucks, but so does 1950’s era freeways in 2006.
Arnold has done a good thing with infrastructure building, but not with how he funds it.
I hope we get a Democrat in there who can work with cranes. A Democrat who can have cranes work to build hospitials and schools.
A Democrat who uses cranes and pays for them, not puts them on my kids credit card.
