[Zomby Woof]

Steve and Nichole Castner need every dollar from their $600 monthly welfare check. The couple and their three young children are renting a Ventura apartment while Steve, 23, looks to boost his hours moving office furniture.

Steve Castner voted for Schwarzenegger and even named his pet pit bull Arnold in honor of the governor. But Castner said he was disappointed by Schwarzenegger's budget proposal.

"He seems to be cutting costs from the wrong places," Castner said. "I'd still have a beer with him. But I'd make him pay."

1. I wish I could say I was surprised to read any of that, but I'm not.

2. I always heard of that rationale

It came up a lot during the 2000 presidential race... "Bush is the candidate more people would drink a beer with". But I always dismissed it as a media fiction.

So seeing this very real quote just brought it home vividly.

3. Yeah, that explains voting for Bush or Arnie ONCE.

Once you realized you're getting screwed, the intelligent person might change their minds. Intelligent being the operative word.

4. This guy is too dumb

He owns a pit bull and has no concept of what a vasectomy is.

5. Heh.

Mix one with the other...presto.

6. Um, disregarding everything else, because I'm flabbergasted - He wouldn't

have made Schwarzenegger pay before? Yo... $600.00 welfare check feeding five people and a dog man... Arnold is a friggin' multi-millionaire.
