 Arnold's Emergency Landing and Bull Testicles!
When He's Not in Movies, Arnold Stays Ballsy!

The cockpit is on fire... the plane is going down... the governor tears off his suit, ties it around the landing gear and jumps out into the jungle right before the plane bursts into a huge fireball. In his grip is a bronze sculpture of bull testicles which he looks at and says, "Tell the Senate to beat that level of ballsiness."
OK, we exaggerated a bit for effect, but it's good to see Arnold's real life is staying action-filled lately. First, Arnold decided to drive home his point that California lawmakers have to make some tough choices in order to balance the budget by sending the Senate President Darrell Steinberg a sculpture of bronze bull testicles-- as in "grow a pair of these". He's getting some flack for it, but what's not being reported as much is that the same guy had sent Arnold a gift of some mushrooms as a joke when Arnold called their budget proposals hallucinatory. So if he can dish it but can't take it, well then he really needs those balls! Also, this kind of thing is pure old-school Arnold in action psyching out his opponents, just like he did with Lou Ferrigno in Pumping Iron.
(not the actual sculpture but probably good representation)
The other action Arnold was involved in over the weekend was when his plane had to make an unscheduled emergency landing when some smoke started coming out of the cockpit. If you follow @schwarzenegger on Twitter, you got this news straight from him along with a picture of the plane when he got out. He commented, "A little adventure just now when my plane made an emergency landing. All's ok, though."
The governor's press secretary Aaron McLear said the plane made a steep but safe landing after being diverted from Santa Monica to Van Nuys airport. McLear: "After his plane landed safely he wanted to share his little adventure with his Twitter followers. It shows how calm he was that his first thought was to tweet." Of course he was calm, have you seen his plane stunts in Commando, Eraser, and True Lies? A little smoke is nothing! Arnold, as always, takes it all in stride.
In yet another different ballsy move, Arnold also just named Ronald E. Albers, who is openly gay, to serve as a state judge. Keep it up, Governator!
