Ted and I came up with this idea that when Arnold Schwarzenegger retires as governor of California, his talents may be well served if his new ambition is to "fix" Haiti. Haiti's problems are daunting, and after building up his political muscles trying to fix California for eight years, it just may be an odd fit for a man who flinches at nothing. If nothing else, it is an amusing scenario to ponder. If nothing else, someone might approach him about making a film about him attempting to fix Haiti. It would be a "Being John Malkovich" sort of film and A.S. would star as himself. We can picture him sitting behind a large desk in the presidential palace, smoking cigars, or outdoors, rallying the will to fix the nation's beleaguered agriculture, or promoting health and fitness among the population's sick and undernourished masses. We entertain this idea in the most respectful and admiring way to all involved. Schwarzenegger's sheer will to get things done, even if only to boost his legacy, could be channeled into a very productive and impressive post-governorship.
