The
Austrian city of Graz has given up trying to negotiate with its once-favorite son. At the Governator's request, they've
removed Arnold Schwarzenegger's name from their soccer stadium and promotional web sites. This all started, you'll
remember, a couple of weeks back, when a handful of Grazian politicians lambasted the once (and future?) Barbarian for
denying clemency for convicted murderer Tookie Williams. Schwarzenegger responded to said criticisms with
characteristic grace: "Graz will not have problems in the future with my decisions as governor of
California," he said, "Because officially nothing connects us any more." To that, Graz's mayor issued a plea for Schwarzenegger
to reconsider: "I hope that very soon we'll hear you say, 'I'll be back"." It didn't happen, and Graz
tookthe letters spelling out Arnold's name off the stadium sometime over the weekend. Sad news, to be sure, but
hopefully it'll teach all of us to be more judicious with our use of Terminator quotes.
