Doesn't Get Much Better Then

[transward (imported)]

How about that Arnold of California?

It doesn't get much better. Lots of links, go search. suggest using the last name, Schwarzenegger.

Schwarz would reference, "black" to possible, to blacken for a verb

I wonder what the eneger translates to. On investigation, nothing unless you drop the "e", then you have the German word for a dark person. " black, darkey, black person; (Anthropology) African-American; member of a Black or dark-skinned African race".

So Arnold's last name in German invokes darkness twice and on many levels.

Maybe the family name has to do with a black morality running in the blood; like pandering to a book sale on others' privacy and dignity.

Who is NOT the nice guy?

All so juicy for such a nice guy. It doesn't get much better then . .

Sometimes, a thread is born and the stories come. Contributions welcome.

I am suprised that no one in all this attention about Arnold has brought up the persistant rumors about his being a rent boy during his Muscle Beach days. There seems to be no question that he was supported in his career as a muscle man contestant by rich fags in return for being decorative at their parties. There is considerable dispute on whether it went any further. AARP for years provided our feeding program with free dishwashers in a joint job training program for seniors. One was an older gay man who claimed to have been a part of the gay scene there in those days. He claimed that Arnold, though claiming straighthood, was willing to let rich gay guys suck his dick for money.

The verb is a causative: schwärzen

I wonder what the eneger translates to.

There is no eneger His name is Schwarzenegger. And der Neger is the same thing as der Schwarze

Keep in mind sometimes German names reflect the regional dialect and not Hochdeutsch.

Why was his families name, double black, or black + to blacken?

Did his fore bearer have a habit of doing bad things?

Or something more benign like blackening leather.

The clip of "Pumping Iron" with Arnold extolling the virtues of Marijuana are well known and "forgiven". IOKIYR

I am disgusted by his profiteering off this book while he has children who are innocent and entitled even by Republicans to their privacy and dignity.

I have asked myself the same question, this person I knew had a grandfather from Germany, there name was Zwanzig. Now if you know German you know this is the word for Twenty, my guess it was something different in Germany.

So Moi, don't put so much faith in names, it may have been important several hundred years ago but today it is meaningless.

When I was in college, the photo ID hit town and we all had fun with our "Mug shots" or in the case of a buddy and me, "Mafia Membership Cards" ...

Please don't abuse this online.

His official last name was "Rose" because on Ellis Island he had "rosy" cheeks and no one understood his Italian or how to spell his real name.

Let's say his real name was something like "chiaroscuro" and he used that at his middle name.

I suspect there is some meaning behind Scwarzenegger that has to do with blacksmith, lamp black, chimney sweep, or some such trade that dealt in all forms of carbon black.

Now as to Arnold...the man's an adulterer, serial style, a grand liar about all sorts fo things, and a consummate politician in it for himself. He promised to balance a budget and left a bigger debt.

Around the mid 1800's nations from German to Russia started sorting out their citizens and their "nationality".

People of the Jewish Nation, as specified on their national ID cards for nationality -

often did not have last names, family names.

So like Ellis Island here too, Jewish family names were assigned - like Lipshitz. Easy to translate and

open your phone book and see how many there are. Does it get much better?

It was black of Arnold to play tell all for profit while he has minor children.

" The U.S. has turned down an offer of post-Hurricane Sandy assistance from one of the world's most wanted men, a Pakistani terror leader with a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head.

Hafiz Saeed, an Islamist militant who is alleged to have masterminded the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that left more than 160 people dead, issued a written statement Wednesday saying his organization was willing to send supplies and volunteers to help the U.S. East Coast recover.

"We are ready to send food items, medicines and doctors to the U.S. for the people affected by the storm," said Saeed. "America [may] fix bounties on our heads but as followers of the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), we feel it is our Islamic duty to help Americans trapped in a catastrophe." Saeed noted that the charity he heads had provided aid in Sri Lanka and Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami. . . ."

Did America close an avenue of communications?

That's one avenue that needs its bridges burned, much less closed.

[Riverwind (imported)]

Moi, thats just what we want, a terrorist helping us.

No communications problem.

It could have been a heroic start of something

like Sadat flying to Tel Aviv.

America should have offered some vaccines of his choice

for children under his care or some welfare products.

Mumbai was about an attack on You Know Who! Hint: Not Hindus.

Even terrorist tend to mellow with age. Look at Arafat. A real expert at throwing a grenade

into an Israeli pre-school and getting away to address the United Nations decades later.

And an age mellowed terrorist is an avenue to peace as a leader among his people.

America missed an opportunity.

Moi

And for the cynics & hard ( )0( )'s.

Talk and get peace now. Off him later.

I just remember when those big bad Soviets offered aid to build a bridge in West Virginia.
