Governor says he's willing to help in SoCal grocery dispute
LOS ANGELES - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Monday that if asked, he will intervene in Southern California's nearly four-month long grocery strike, but did not provide details about what his involvement would be.

"Right now I'll let them try to hammer it out, because there are some smart people there that are working on that," the governor said in an interview with KNX-AM in Los Angeles.

"If they call me and ask me to intervene and to be an intermediary, I'm more than happy to do that, because I think that we need to have everyone go back to work and normalize the situation," he said.

corporations has been so stellar, legendary.

And to date, his accomplishments as government have been so exemplary.

Yes, master negotiator, that's what comes to MY mind when I think of the Governator.


I'm sorry, did some of that dripping sarcasm splash anyone?

4. I have a hard time imagining that his contributions
would in any way enhance the livlihoods of the 'average Joes' who fork over the bucks to see his films.
