Arnold Classic throws out Girl Scouts
Yesterday my daughters girl scout troop was invited to sell Girl Scout cookies at the Arnold Classic Fitness Show in Columbus Ohio. We arrived and set up at the table we where sent to. After an hour three people in suits arrived and said they where from the Arnold Classic and that we had to leave. I explained that we were the guest of the Convention Center and showed them the letter that we had received. They said it was their event and we had to leave. We found the manager from Aramark the company who does services for the center and he had us moved to an area that was out of Arnold's control. While I was off talking to the Aramark people someone tried to buy cookies from my girls and the Arnold people would not let them sell them. The girls were really upset and the Arnold people just kept telling them to pack up their cookies and leave. Thanks to the Aramark people we moved and had a pretty good sale and a nice free lunch. The people who tried to buy cookies from the girls found us later and bought a case of cookies. A lot of people stopped by to say they couldn't believe how the Arnold Classic treated these little girls. I guess they have no patients for NON-profit little girls, but the people attending the Classic where great.

4. In a way, this is good news. I'm sorry for the girls, but it's best they

learn early. Talk to them about corporate politics and the controversy swirling around the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. You have an excellent opportunity to educate these girls and their Moms and Dads about what kind of creature Arnold is.

6. Good point...

10. Arnold + Fitness = Steroids

I'm glad the sale worked in the end. Arnold and his other fascist friends are pathetic.

Maybe we should start giving repukes the same treatment? See how they like it? (on edit. That sounds cold. And would it do any good? The powerful are in power, they could care less about the people.)
