I nominate Melonie Charm for...
...Governor of California! ;D
Now I must admit I have no idea where Mel lives but let's not worry over details like that for now. Heck if Arnold can run for the action movie contingent, and Gary Coleman can run for the verticallly challenged portion of the population, and Father Guido Sarducci can run for the make believe Vatican potion of the populace then why the hell can't we have a stripper candidate to represent all of you ladies?
Can I hear you say AMEN!!!!!! AMEN!!!!! Amen!!!!! ;)
And after all Melonie is at least as qualified as most of the others who are running and she looks a lot better than any of them on a campaign poster to boot! ;)
Plus she has other qualifications...
1. She knows how to make money and keep some of it at the end of the day, she will stop the deficit in no time at all!
2. She knows how to get men to do what she wants and since most of the state legislature is men, well there should be no problem getting her bills passed. ;)
3. Find any other candidate who can crush beer cans with their breasts! Not even Arnold can do that. ;)
Get out the stripper vote, we can pull this off!
;) I hope nobody minds me having a little fun today, it is off topic but we need a few laughs around here don't you think? ;)
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
I'm not sure who Melanie is, but the other candidates suck, so
AMEN AMEN AMEN
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
When I turned on the news the other night there was a lady ,probably in her late fifties totaly bimbo looking ,I think she was running ,she drove away in a pink corvette I just caught the end of it I think she was trying to be like a barbie, she actually may have been more like sixties now that I think about it.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Michele, Barbie is hella old, remember?
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
xmarx52 you are too SILLY! :)
Anyway, Melonie gets my vote!!!
Hell, lets toss her Floridas way too!
Ah shit, what about running for PRESIDENT ? Sorry all, shes got more smarts than Hillary. (nothing against Hillary, but enough of her....BORING.)
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Well heck if that faux Barbie chick can run then Mel sure can. She is about the only lady I know who in real life makes Barbie look flat chested. ;)
And God knows we need Mel just to give us something hot to look at when they cover this race on TV. That scrawny bean pole Maria that Arnold is married to looks like Heidi Fleiss after a 6 month hunger strike.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
What's the ratio for men/women? If there's more men, she's in. More women? Well, the jealous, catty bitches won't have it!!
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Well, my tits ARE quite a bit bigger than Angelyne (the 50+ gubernatorial candidate famous for her billboard cleavage and for cameo roles in movies like "Earth Girls are Easy"). But when it comes down to comparing who the biggest "boob" is in California politics, I'm flat as a board in comparison.
IMHO California is doomed no matter who takes over. Their political policies over the past 20 years has created a situation which has chased away every manufacturing business, which has not allowed a "cheap energy" infrastructure to come into existance, which has promised low and medium income residents all sorts of subsidies (from free college tuition to artificially low electric bills) etc. At the moment the only "economic engines" in California which are still running are the TV/movie industry, the wine industry, and receiving more Federal tax money back than Californians paid in (a subsidy residents of other states pay for). To really turn this around would require massive increases in individual income taxes, property taxes and "hidden" taxes (like gasoline, utility bills, sales tax, motor vehicle fees, state college tuition), and massive cuts in state funded benefits for low income registered voters. Nobody except the Terminator would have the balls to actually suggest these things.
PS the only big money to be made in politics is dishonest money, and I couldn't deal with that! I'd tell the media assholes exactly what I think about certain situations without a second thought regarding political correctness or public opinion. This is a sure formula for political suicide. Plus, with the California dancer law, I'd wind up getting killed on federal and state income taxes if forced to become a California resident! The smart people are already moving across the Nevada border in droves!
Thanks for the support though.
Actually, some good for the dancing industry may come out of this recall election. One of the well known gubernatorial candidates is Larry Flynt of Hustler magazine fame. One of his business associates has already filed a federal lawsuit based on the recent sodomy decision (= individual's sex lives are none of the government's business). This in theory could lead to future supreme court rulings totally legalizing lap dances, consensual sex under any circumstances (including when guy consents to pay and girl consents to collect!), and a whole bunch of interesting possibilities. If Larry were to win the recall election, California could start implementing these principles immediately on a statewide basis (although San Francisco basically already has, just illegally).
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Awww, c'mon Melonie, you already know politics from the sound of it, so what's the hold up? You could be the first, with power, to tell off the media, take a vacation from dancing and get famous...
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Screw famous. Being famous isn't going to help Mike Tyson one iota now that he's bankrupt. I'd much rather be obscure and rich than famous and poor.
And you're right that I DO know a whole lot more about the way politics really works than I'd like to. This is an unavoidable product of living and working in New York.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
True, but once you retire, you can get rich then return to your obscure life.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Well, if someone ever gets some political power, will they start a union or a law banning the strip clubs from sticking it to us and taking all of our money?

In an ideal world, every governor would do that. Hell, I would do that.
Jesse Ventura and Gary Johnson were a breath of fresh air compared to the spineless pandering idiots holding most governors offices today. I think "Ah-nold" seems a little too eager to please everybody.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Hey, that's not a bad idea.
Melonie, I think you should be president. We could use an honest president with her head on straight.

Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Did I mention that Melonie is also smarter than most of the people running too? ;)
Thanks for getting the joke and having a good sense of humour, Mel. You rock.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Yeah, Mel could be the person to have that position. But I worry about the media and the other candiates because they will find anything they can to expose u to the media. Now I dont know of your background in the past (hope it's not too bad hehe) could possible affect u getting votes. Hell no one is perfect either is Bill Clinton nor George Bush who used coke in the past.
Wish we could have more open minded people that are willing to listen to what Mel has to say. Anyhow I'd vote for her 100 times if I can.

Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
I second that. I wish there was still heiarchy here: I would rather her be Empress than Governor. The Empress rules unquestionably.
(as long as she makes me one of her princesses)
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Mel for Emperor? Does that mean she would wear the Emperors new clothes? ;)
Can I be court jester?
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
Emperors No Clothes? What?

California actually passed such a law last year (the Statutory Employee dancer law). However, clubowners appear to be ignoring it, and nobody seems to be enforcing it - yet. Besides the issues of clubs providing unemployment and comp, and clubs being specifically prohibited from charging fees or glomming onto a percentage of dancer's tip money, there are also major income reporting and income tax ramifications to both the clubs and to the dancers. My guess is that the enforcement of this law will become a big deal now that the state is in the red to the tune of $36 billion dollars, and that the state tax people have certainly received marching orders already to start looking under rocks for additional sources of tax revenue i.e. unreported/underreported incomes in "cash" businesses.
However, sometimes it really pays to be careful what you wish for ... Under the new California law, the clubs now have the right to confiscate 100% of the money customers spend on private dances and champagne rooms. Clubs now also have the right to require dancers to work set hours on set days. As the new law states that dancers are not allowed to accept cash payments directly from customers, clubs will probably have to institute funny money systems in order for dancers to continue receiving stage or other tips. Clubs also have the obligation to report the identity of dancers to local governments and to also report all of the money the club pays out to dancers in the form of private dance splits, champagne room splits, funny money cash-in's or anything else to the IRS and Cal State Tax Dep't as dancer's income.
Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
(Michele, Barbie is hella old, remember?) ;D ;D
Her name is Angelyne. She used to be sort of an icon for Sunset Strip in LA,(no not Louisiana.) There was a huge billboard of her on the strip. I agree, she is a bit scary up close. I would never vote for her,but I do like her car. :)
I think it is pretty funny this thing with the celebs running for gov. However, Gray Davis has not been the greatest governor.
Clint Eastwood hasn't been a bad Mayor of Carmel and Sonny Bono was quite well liked as the mayor of Palm Springs. Sonny was quite serious, since he had been out of show business as a performer, anyway, for quite a while.
Definitely Mel over Angelyne.
Cheers,

Re: I nominate Melonie Charm for...
There's no question that Arnold S. is one smart businessman. He started out as a very smart cookie when he originally came here from Germany as a bodybuilder, and proved just how smart he was by his choices of scripts through his career. Also one can't be married to a member of the ultimate American financial and political dynasty without picking up a few pointers and helping hands along the way. Arnold's wife Maria Shriver is a Kennedy if you didn't know already, which is the reason that conservative pundits like Rush Limbaugh are having a field day over media one liners that Arnold is too conservative for California. But compared to the government which California has voted in for the past decade, Ted Kennedy would probably seem conservative as well !
California's true political problem is the same problem that New York experienced 20 years ago, and which any dancer in LA clubs today can confirm. Residents with high paying jobs are leaving in droves, for reasons ranging from being laid off or their companies going bankrupt, to state tax rates being oppressive, to just not being able to handle the insanity any more (only in California could a statewide election decide to cut off welfare and free tuition benefits for illegal aliens by a wide margin, only to have a judge declare this unconstitutional!). On the other hand, low income immigrants of questionable citizenship are coming across the border in droves to cash in on the benefits the state offers (and the remaining residents must pay for). Eventually this reaches 'critical mass" where the low income registered voters outnumber the remaining high income registered voters, leading to their ability to in effect vote themselves more benefits. This just encourages more high income residents to leave and more income immigrants to move in, leading to exactly the huge deficit situation that NY was in 20 years ago and that California now finds itself in. This will get worse before it gets better no matter who sits in the governor's chair.
While I'll admit that Arnold S. and Jesse Ventura and Sonny Bono and Clint Eastwood are no dummies, the fact that "star power" now counts so heavily with the majority of registered voters versus other candidates' educational credentials or previous government or business experience is a testament to the thought process and attention span of your average registered voter these days!
