Quick follow-up on a story from a few months ago: We told you about how Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, self-proclaimed environmentalist and signer of Cullyfornia’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, has been flying back and forth every day in his private jet between his home in L.A. and his office in Sacramento. We all have our own ways of saving the planet, right?
Well, now Santa Monica residents and even members of his own family want to put a halt to Ahnold’s carbon-creating commute:
A federal judge will decide on May 15 whether the governor can land aboard a Gulfstream IV in Santa Monica, a 15-minute drive to his home in Los Angeles’ wealthy Brentwood enclave. The governor’s brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver, is among the Santa Monica city council members who voted unanimously on March 25 to ban large jets at the municipal airport.
“These guys aren’t listening so we have to lift the conversation to a different level,” said Shriver, referring to proponents of allowing the jets, including the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. A surge in flights “has changed the whole safety profile of this little airport,” said Shriver, 54, a brother of California’s first lady, Maria Shriver.
Man, Thanksgiving must be awkward!
When told he might have to spend hours every day driving being chauffeured to Sacramento and back — or possibly might even have to live there — due to the meddling of a bunch of nobodies who’ve never made a single blockbuster, here was Schwarzenegger’s reaction:
(Hat tip to faithful Deceiver reader Pastafarian)
From what I read, he’s buying carbon credits to offset his flying, maybe he just has to buy off some Santa Monica city council “credits” to continue to do so.
I know how he feels. My neighbors complain everyday about me landing my Harrier Jump Jet in my yard. But they won’t stop me. Hey a guys gotta get around.
Love your blog! Just a tip for you though, you might want to also take up the other domain deciever.com. People can misspel at times and you can take that to redirect people to you as well. I know I’ve done it a few times myself.
Thanks for blowing my plan Aisha.
Believe it or not, we actually thought of this.
I dare you — visit “www.Deciever.com” and see what happens. Poof! You’re right back here!
Moral: You can’t escape. Don’t even try.
Can’t wait to see his smirk when they force him to park the jet and he starts commuting to work in a helocopter instead.
