Can Arnold save California…as Mr. Freeze??

Damn, those California wildfires are really messed up.  But what does Governor Arnold say?

Excerpt from CNN.com:

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in seven counties.

“The wind is our number one enemy right now,” he told a late morning news conference.

I knew it!  It’s a mythical battle of the elements, and Arnold is stepping up to the challenge to defeat The Wind!  This shouldn’t be a problem, considering Arnold’s exploits a decade or so ago as a certain Mr. Freeze. Like a frost mage, wizard or paladin in online RPG games, Arnold should use special skill set as Mr. Freeze to help during this crisis.

He’s gonna need his biggest frost gun, but I think we’ll soon find that a puny campfire like this one is no match for a guy in a glowing outfit, especially when he caps off every bout of freezing with an ice-related pun.

Rest easy, California.  You elected a hero.

    How chillingly appropriate (get it, chillingly?). You’ve done it again, Laura, and by “it,” I mean made me laugh.
