Truffle Season, It Is Here
SFist Tonight
Yesterday, we talked to you about Schwarzenegger's clever missive to Asm. Tom Ammiano, where the governor tossed him a good ol' fashion "fuck you" while informing him that he vetoed his Port of SF bill. SFBG editor Tim Redmond called the governor's press office to ask about the now famous veto message with a little something special. Redmond reports:
Aaron McLear from the governor's press office just called. When I asked him if the Fuck You message was intentional, all he would say was "what a strange coincidence." He was clearly being sarcastic.Tweedle, that pretty much confirms it -- these guys knew exactly what they were doing.
But was is a coincidence? Odds are it wasn't. In fact, Eye On Blogs' Brittney Gilbert says that's the odds are next to impossible. See, an astrophysicist friend of hers tells her, "[T]he odds of this exact message is 1 in 8031810176 (according to my calculations). That doesn't include having a paragraph break where the space is." So, there you have it.

That is completely awesome. AS shoudl get reelected just for that.

The best thing about this is that, aside from the secret message, the letter complains about lawmakers who waste time with unnecessary gimmicks.
Actually if you look at the whole message, it is:
T I Fuck You S A
Which I translate into:
Tom, I Fuck You, Sincerely, Arnold
fuck arnold. lame duck stunts are lame.
maybe he should spend that energy on fixing the state.
Keep it classy, guv'nor.
the full quote from terminator 1 would be "Fuck you, asshole." dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun ...
My favorite part is that the best the gov's press office could come up with was flat denial, and "Something like this was bound to happen." (See funny SFBG comments for discussions on the astronomic mathematical probability). I bet it's hard to get out of bed for some days as a press secretary.
I think the Terminator ought to go to Memphis TN and terminate Kandy the Embezzler's account.
