Oil Disaster Spoils Arnold's Fun, Tennessee Floods, Washington Gets High

• 

  
   The Nightmare in the Gulf of Mexico claimed another victim Monday: Arnold Schwarzenegger's big plan to fund California's cash-starved state parks with offshore drilling along the coast where the most popular state parks are located. It was the kind of brilliant piss- everybody -off scheme that Schwarzenegger has excelled at during his seven years as governor. So the parks are still broke. For his bonus round, Arnold vetoed a popular bill that would've banned cigarette smoking on state beaches. Oh, and the "Governator" also made public his support for Obamacare and is fighting the oil industry's attempts to repeal California's alternative energy law. Everybody unhappy now? Good!
