As I understand the tale, Arnold made his 1st million when he got here as an
unemployed muscle-kid and put an ad in the papers with a buddy advirtising:
"Genuine European Bricklayers and Stonecrafters" it didn't matter that he'd
never done it - he learned the trade fast and capitalized on the fact that
European stone stuff was in vogue. He had a successfull business in no time
while winning minor titles on his way up the bodybuilding food chain. Sounds
to me like he didn't waste his time on Muscle Beach showing off his abs. LOL

When he said he wanted to be a big star ac-tor, everyone
laughed.............

I'm not gonna laugh at him now......... too risky.

As to the election.
Arnold has done well as a business man. More money from real estate than
movies. Most of the refurbed area of Santa Monica his because of him.

Turd polishing is a lot harder than starting with no debt and a clean slate.
It'll take more than a great businessman to rework Caleeefonia.

Odd fact: There's an architecture firm on my floor in this office building.
The head honcho designed a very stylish magazine rack for the men's room
(stainless steel) and permanently bolted it to the tiles. Anyway, over the
past few years, I've read articles indicating that there are certain types
of masonry skills that virtually NOBODY knows how to do here. In particular,
fancy interior plastering for large areas like hotel/office lobbies. They
have to shlep people over from Italy.
