Just a quickie

Im just going to post something I read at another website today that I found interesting. Maybe you will too:

Consistent with the Republican theme this week (not to mention, the past four years) of shaping facts to conform to fantasy, it now appears that the core of Arnold Schwarznegger's endearing personal account of his political awakening was fabricated.

Arnold told the rapt delegates that, as a boy, "I saw Soviet tanks in the streets" and "experienced communism with my own eyes." That's very impressive, but Arnold was born in 1947 and, as historians point out, the Soviets left that region of Austria in 1945. (In fact, if Arnold saw foreigners, they were more likely to be English, since he was living in the British zone.) Furthermore, that "socialist state" that Arnold claims to have grown up in is also a ruse. From 1945 to 1970, the country was run by either a conservative government, or a coalition of conservatives and Social Democrats.

Damn it...I knew something didnt sound right about that when I heard it. D'oh!!!
