Q: Will the Spray Cause Erectile Dysfunction?A. Not if you keep looking at porn.
Yesterday’s, er, news that men (sex, sex, sex, money, money, sports) take greater risks after viewing porn, got me wondering what will happen to the stock market when the feds start spraying female moth pheromones.
Will the market go soft? Will everyone, drag queens included, start dressing as giant female moths?
Will my cat start puking? And is Fodor really warning folks to stay the f*** away ?
(These latter two questions are raised in a somewhat erratic piece at the Huffington Post)
But don’t worry, Mommy, Arnie says the spray is safe.
Seriously folks, to reassure us all, the California Department of Food and Agriculture sent this transcript of the Governor speaking from Salinas.
"Hello-Today, Governor Schwarzenegger was in Salinas to continue statewide discussions on budget reform.
After his event, the local ABC station asked him about LBAM spraying. The transcript is below. Thought you may find it interesting.
ABC: Will you comment on LBAM spraying?
Governor: It’s important we do everything we can because it can destroy our agriculture products and harm our environment. Other countries can cut off our agriculture trade. Public safety is my number one priority and there is nothing that shows this program is unsafe.
ABC: Senator Migden is proposing legislation to prevent spraying before an EIR is done. Do u have a position?
Governor: We have done all the studies in the world and nothing says it is unsafe. We wouldn't spray if it were unsafe.
ABC: You would look these people in the eye and tell them it is safe?
Governor: This is safe. The spraying is safe and there is nothing that says otherwise.
Meanwhile, folks who remain unconvinced that the spraying is safe are being urged...to catch a bus to Sacramento tomorrow, April 16.

I have an easy way for Arnold to convince everyone that the spray is safe. He should call a press conference at which he gets sprayed himself....
