SACRAMENTO — In a broad challenge to California's entrenched special interests, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger implored the Legislature on Wednesday to restrain spending, revise "out of control" pensions, reward the best schoolteachers and "expel" the worst.

Schwarzenegger said in his annual State of the State speech in the Assembly chamber that he would devote his second year in power to ambitious changes that would reverberate in California and beyond, from classrooms to Congress; drug companies to prisons.

1. It would almost be humorous were it not for the fact that Ahhhnuld now

2. Wow, a brave assault

On teachers and retirees. What's next, slapping Denver boots on the wheelchairs of disabled persons who can't keep up their payments?
