Arnold's Hot Mail

Add Arnold Schwarzenegger to the list of governors getting booby trapped mail from a Nevada prison. Several governors have gotten the letters, rigged with a pack of matches to ignite when opened. The letters are relatively harmless and no one has been hurt when the pack of matches strike. Fortunately, Arnold remembered "it's always the red wire" from The Last Action Hero. (Reuters)

Wow. Hilarious. Joke about an assassination attempt on an elected official. Terrorists target elected officials in emerging and troubled democracies, but you can see the lighter side. What a stitch. First and last visit, sir.

As Winston Churchill once said, "There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result."

I am sure Anold would agree -- though these letters could do little more than cause a sudden surprise.
